The work of Cynthia Gutiérrez (Guadalajara, MX, 1978) is articulated from an understanding of sculpture beyond the medium. Her approaches to three-dimensionality, through different supports, arise from a critical strategy that seeks to question and test the vulnerability and stability of that which is structural, whether at the physical, conceptual, or political level. In her work, the question about the future vibrates on a deep layer. The relationship between past and present, between the institutional as the epitome of power and control structures, and the different forms of political representation inhabit her work to open a dialogue about the tensions we face. The construction of memory, national identity, the idea of progress or failure, the cyclicality of collapse, the apparatuses of legitimization and their connection to art and culture, are addressed in her pieces to discern and negotiate public, political, and social space.

Gutiérrez has exhibited in various spaces inside and outside the country such as the Contemporary Art Platform, Cabañas Museum, Carrillo Gil Art Museum, and La Tallera / SAPS in Mexico; SCAD Museum of Art, United States; Venice Biennale, Italy; Izolyatsia Platform for Cultural Initiatives, Ukraine; and Berlin Biennale, Germany, to name a few.
