Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez

Born in 1974 in San Jose, Costa Rica, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez lives and works in London. She makes films and more recently using materials such as sheet glass, steel, wooden logs, found vessels, plaster board, she creates complex layered sculptures playing with the sensuality and connectivity of objects and material. Their often evocative titles, such as “Gangster Woman Before Wedding” bring to mind possible narratives contrasting with the abstraction of the assemblages. Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez also reinvests historical patterns or shapes, proposing a ‘history of the subjective’.

Solo exhibitions include “Werkstatt des Albhabets” at Carl Freedman Gallery, London (2008), “Nolandscape” at Counter Gallery, London (2006) and “Praha Space”, Sapporo, Japan (2002). Her work has also recently been shown as part of “Gut of the Quantifier” at Lisa Cooley Gallery, New York (2008), “Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art” at Barbican, London (2008), “Fit to Print” at Gagosian Madison Avenue, New York (2007), “An Archaeology” at 176 Project Space, London (2007) and “Wir sind wieder wer” at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Hamburg (2007).
