Descripción del Artista

Maria Fernanda Cardoso is a leading Latin American and Australian artist who lives and works in Sydney. She received her MFA in Sculpture from Yale University, USA in 1990 and a BA from the Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia in 1985. Born in Colombia, Maria Fernanda has lived and worked in Sydney since 1998. In 1995 she was catapulted to worldwide fame with the Cardoso Flea Circus when it was premiered at the San Francisco Exploratorium, an art and science institution in California. Her introduction to Australia was at the Sydney Festival, when she presented the Cardoso Flea Circus at the Sydney Opera House for a sold-out season in 2000. The same year, the New York Museum of Modern Art commissioned her to make a major installation of 136,000 plastic flowers for their millennium show, Modern Starts: People Things Places. In 2004 she represented Colombia at the Venice Biennale, exhibiting a large installation of starfish titled Woven Water, which is now part of the collection of the National Art Gallery of Australia and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, where she had an extensive solo show titled Zoomorphia in 2003. Most recently her work with Emu feathers has earned her two prizes: one for her Fashion and Mimesis exhibition at Rodman Hall, Canada, and another for the exhibition Dead or Alive at the Museum of Art and Design in New York. She has exhibited in over 25 countries world wide over the last 25 years in institutions as prestigious as NY MoMA, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, PS1, New York, the San Francisco Exploratorium, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Fundacion La Caixa in Barcelona, the Centro Reina Sofia in Madrid.
