On behalf of the Graduate Student Organization and Department of Art, I am pleased to announce our guest artist Minerva Cuevas. Please join us for Minerva’s artist talk on Friday March 19th 2021. 11AM-12PM.

Minerva Cuevas (born 1975, Mexico City) is one of the Latin-American artists renowned  for her work based on context research and interventions integrated with subversive  visual and socio-political messages. Her works often include participatory elements of endeavors in cultural, urban civic and  virtual space exploring the ways in which the mass media is implicated in these activities  as a powerful mediating element in society. She founded Better Life Corporation in 1998, became a member of Irational.org and  founded the International Understanding Foundation in 2016. Working across a variety of media, Cueva’s institutional solo exhibitions include  daadgalerie, Berlin, the Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico; Kunsthalle Basel and the Van  Abbemusem, Holland; Centre d’art contemporain, Saint-Nazaire, France among others. Recent group exhibitions include: “Soft Power” at the San Francisco Museum of Modern  Art; Bienal de Liverpool (2010), Bienal de Berlin (2010), Bienal de Lyon (2007), Bienal de  San Pablo (2006), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam 2005), Bienal de Sharjah (2005).  Upcoming projects will be shown as part of the Mediacity Biennial in Seul, Korea and  Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany.
