Lives in Argentina, born in Hurlingham (Argentina).

In Fernanda Laguna's work ephemeral paper installations, paintings, writings, and poems exist without hierarchies, on the same plane. Viewed from afar, her methods (humble materials, the inclusiveness of her actions, the multiple modes of working) could be read as a consequence of, and a response to, an unstable socioeconomic environment. While this reading is undeniably true, it misses a central point in her approach: Laguna’s generosity and communal awareness; her willing and profound chitchat about art and money, art and love, and art and social concerns. These things are major factors in Laguna’s art—and her life, too.
