In our continued support of Proyecto Latina

and in celebration of Poetry month

we will host a special PL event this month!

Along with the regularly scheduled open mic poetry you are invited to chime-in on the collaborative poem that will be created in response to the work of Proyecto Latina’s featured artist Victoria Martinez, who is currently exhibiting a new body of work at Cobalt Studio.

Excited to integrate poetry into her work, Victoria is providing pieces of cloth for this activity that will be pieced together to create an exquisite corpse

Other Side Breathing: New works by Victoria Martinez

Soft sculpture/Installation/Collage work by Victoria Martinez, April 2012

Reception

Friday, April 13th

6pm-9pm

Cobalt Studio

1950 W. 21st St.

Storefront

Chicago, IL

Other Side Breathing will present a body of work inspired by various sites around Pilsen. They include alleyways, the abandoned mini mall on Cermak, the late La Unica taco shack, a flower shop and convenient stores. Upon the completion of exhibit, installations will be planted at designated sites and left to rest, live or disappear.

My artwork explores the ephemeral, I am drawn to memories and events I cannot completely comprehend. Through soft sculpture installation and collage I assemble nostalgic, festive and curious work utilizing materials that are given to me, found or purchased at local stores, depending on my location. The key factor that activates my work are the sensations received from the past be it death, passion, innocence or mystery. -Victoria Martinez

Victoria Martinez is an interdisciplinary artist from Pilsen who received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is also a teaching artist who will be collaborating with youth from Yollocalli Arts Reach to create a soft sculpture installation to be exhibited at The Center for Advanced Hindsight at Duke University this summer.
