Advice to someone just beginning to study art?
Martine Gutierrez (b. 1989) received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. The Brooklyn based performance artist draws from eclectic media, acting as subject, artist, and muse, documenting her personal transformation into various imagined roles.
Through the transformation of physical space and composed self, Gutierrez investigates identity—both personal and collective. Interested in the fluidity of relationships and the role of genders within them, she employs mannequins as her counterparts to explore the diverse narratives of intimacy. Life size backdrops and props interchange with physical locations in a dialogue about reality. Integral to her work is the active participation of the viewer.
