Descripción del Artista

Inspired by consumer goods, industrial debris and autobiographical narratives and objects, Cristina Tufiño (Capetillo, Puerto Rico, 1982) addresses her practice as an archaeologist hoarder, rummaging through a broad cultural system of references, with a nod to artifacts and museological aesthetics. Her multimedia works arise from a process of assembling, associating, and translating images and ideas inspired by seemingly oppositional languages and spaces. For LISTE, Tufiño presents a new series of sculptures: sphinxes and objects that reference and comment on the female body and experience. Made of basic materials like fired clay and sand, and supported on cardboard boxes, they’re stacked, juxtaposed, reconfigured and adorned with jewelry made from contemporary debris. These personal items denote, comment and question preconceived notions of gender and class. Carefully arranged and selected, these disembodied figures travel through the fair preoccupied with timelessness and a myriad of personal anxieties. C.V.
