🌐 English transmission on Webinar Zoom

This session will look into Teresa Burga’s projects carried out from the seventies onwards, when she develops a work logic focused on conceptual experimentation towards new creative strategies, making use of scientific records and new information technologies for the production of works in paper, diagrams and instructions in pieces such as Estructuras al aire [Structures of air] (1970), Autorretrato. Estructura Informe. 9.6.72 [Self-portrait. Report Structure. 9.6.72] (1972), 1972), Obra que desaparece cuando el espectador trata de acercarse [Work That Disappears When the Spectator Tries to Approach It] (1970-2006), which allows its spatial formulation in installations.
