Agustina Woodgate (Buenos Aires, 1981) focuses her artistic practice on the study of systems, value theories, relationships and power logics that operate in society. She draws new cartographies dissolving the political limits that order paradigms, unifies languages by visiting displaced communities, materializes and demonstrates the power relations that govern our society and denounces forms of domination through her works. She sands maps and bills, draws hopscotches, gives a voice to the most silenced and sources of work to the unemployed, creates works from waste and deconstructs the great paradigms; Her works work on the ways in which politics and institutional poetics organize public and private space, from its infrastructure and its discourse of domination. Using a playful, polysemic, minimalist and forceful language, through sculptural works, public interventions and social interactions, she proposes new landscapes that challenge the public and redefine the system of existing relationships. To do this, she converts and reinserts society’s surplus into works of art that open the way to new possibilities of perception and action.
