Descripción del Artista
Colombian artist who lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia. She was born in Salamina, Caldas in 1950 and holds a Bachelor Degree in Visual Communication from Pontificia Bolivariana University, and a Fine Arts and Arts Studies Degree from The Universidad de Antioquia
She did a Master’s course in Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Arts in London and a Degree certification in Contemporary Art and Theory in the same University. She was for 27 years a professor of Graduate and Undergraduate courses at the Universidad de Antioquia and Universidad Nacional de Colombia. In the 90’s, Echeverri gave a radical turn to her career after a solid and significant work in painting and sculpture in Medellin, during the 70’s – 80’s decade and after moving to the capital Bogota, she found sound and video to be an appropriate media to confront with a critical point of view, troubled topics in the social, political, cultural and environmental arena in Colombia.
Her work is framed in a rigorous process of research, field work and creation with a deep exploration that flows from the personal to the social and the political arena of her country, generating intersections between video, sound, intervened photography and installation. By employing multiple strategies of scale, technical supports, space and sound presence, her practice investigates the ways in which violence and its transmutation are present in relation to the viewer. She dedicated herself to create audio-visual installations that generated physical and psychological spaces where the spectator lives a similar experience in the conceptual frame of emotions and bodily reactions.
Echeverri explores problems about loss and grief, enforced disappearance, in tension with the forces of nature that have been violated from the cultural landscape in Colombia. The multi-channel and immersive video installations invite us to understand the time of memory in its construction of history and to consider how art enters as a mediator of new sensibilities. Her work encourages those who witness her works, to strengthen a collective resistance against the abuses that surround us.
