Bio
From
the 2000s onwards, Judi Werthein became a key figure in the Latin
American art scene. She
focuses her artistic practice on the observation of the construction
on individual and collective subject, with a particular interest in
the misunderstanding of identities and entities. Understanding them
as flexible rather than static or fixed, she articulates meaning
through the language of mainstream culture, presenting the
stereotypes of Western Culture from an uncanny perspective. Lately,
her projects are meant to question the corporatization of culture,
partially through an investigation of the boons and pitfalls of the
links between art and business.
