Monica Martinez
Monica Martinez was born and raised in Mexico City. She earned her BFA in sculpture and industrial design from the Massachusetts College of Art. Currently she is finishing her MFA in sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she is the recipient of the presidential scholarship. She also has been the recipient of fellowships from the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Sculpture Space, and recently the McDowell Colony.
Martinez creative work is engaged with the visual and social language that exists within informal economies and architectures across the world. Her installations and sculptures are created by methods of improvisation and basic construction; they are constructed mostly by local scavenged materials such as cardboard. “I build my sculptures thinking about provisional moments and unstable systems; I’m interested in the cultural complexity found in the metropolis. This could be understood from an artistic, architectural and urbanistic point of view”.
