Azucena Vieites
The work that Azucena Vieites (Hernani, 1967) has developed to date, with an expressly low-fi aesthetic, has been carried out through approaches to contemporary visual culture, using graphic resources such as drawing or silkscreen printing. The aim is to represent an aesthetic memory in relation to a present time whose intensity is likely to fade away. Her practice gathers a feminist iconography, sometimes linked to the collaborative work with the group Erreakzioa, an initiative of which she is co-founder and which emerged in 1994 in the Basque scene. The multiplicity, the fragment or repetition as a break with respect to the absolute image and the linear forms of narration or the ephemeral and processual character of the work are highlighted as relevant aspects in her production.
Azucena Vieites (Hernani, 1967) lives and works in Madrid. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the UPV-EHU. She has taken part in the 11th edition of the Berlin Biennale (2020). Her solo exhibitions include: Redo Break Out of Your Shell, IVAM (Valencia, 2021); Playing Across Papers, sala Alcalá 31 (Madrid, 2020-2021); Hey Baby!, Box 27, Casal Solleric (Palma, 2018); Tableau Vivant, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, 2013); Fundido encadenado-Break You Nice, MUSAC (León, 2012) and Oye lo que traigo, sala Rekalde (Bilbao, 2005).
