She focuses on the unique individual experiences throughout our lifetimes, the minimal occurrences that transpire each day, addressing the ontology of humanity and grafts them into site-specific installations and objects. https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/absence-presence daily 0.75 2024-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1525139423743-A8WRIUH5QHIWTAN6HBOI/loss+of+live.jpg Absence + Presence - ABSENCE + PRESENCE Absence + Presence Royal College of Art, London, UK Researcher, Research and Innovation Department How is it possible that civilization has a global understanding of the abstraction of the human form? At a subconscious level as humans, we have the ability to find the form of the body in the most minimal of shapes, objects and even natural phenomena. In this series, I have focused on the change between realistic representations of the human form to abstraction. I have broken it down to its basic elements to explore at what point our visual language allows us to recognize and define a shape or object as being influenced by or connected to, the human form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515475602660-ZTACK8YLSNSN8M21WCRU/image-asset.jpeg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515208934895-MSENY4E0ADMH3IZL6IYJ/Edith_Garcia_Absence_Presence_10_72DPI.jpg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1503877613223-1A9FBGB8JK468OGK4DX3/Edith_Garcia_Absence_Presence_6_72DPI.jpg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1520730630126-VTILYSVT9UGKWQ5J7LVK/Edith_Garcia_Absence_Presence_9_72DPI.jpg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1525139589767-5FMP1T50FBVQL8Y5WG49/IMG_1021.JPG Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515475771741-MV2ZASPE2MRYGD12BW7N/Garcia%2CEdith_InE_8.jpg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1503877389793-V4VVE3THJ94X5NWWC2Y1/Edith_Garcia_Absence_Presence_2_72DPI.jpg Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1503877981144-HXJBQHJYKJL0O42DMPVN/Garcia%2CEdith_In_4.JPG Absence + Presence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1503877408851-R6E0B7S8XO8JL6ABDWQD/Edith_Garcia_Absence_Presence_3_72DPI.jpg Absence + Presence https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/it-is-as-it-is-perceived daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1506994198034-VQ50UNHKUZ2JLG9E3BHJ/2.1crossmyheartandhopetodie.jpg it is as it is perceived it is as it is perceived, (miniature installation), 2017 Medium: handbuilt porcelain, cast resin and laser engraved acrylic Dimensions: 3’x5’x2’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1509382722947-5OJ3XZWJ554RIXI5DLY9/egmbirddrawing1.jpg it is as it is perceived it is as it is perceived, 2017 Medium: laser cut paper Dimensions: 3’x5’x2’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1506996325268-3JXHAH7IQ5YH0IMC82WQ/egmkissesaftercaramels.jpg it is as it is perceived it is as it is perceived, (miniature installation), 2017 Medium: cast glass Dimensions: 3’x5’x2’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1506994133548-D39QIXB0256QWA6O3AXL/1.+EGM+crossmyheartandhopetodie.jpg it is as it is perceived - it is as it is perceived Home from Home | Contemporary Applied Arts, UK International artists working in Britain CAA is delighted to host Home from Home an ambitious exhibition project which explores the ways in which creativity and making are interwoven with identity and a sense of belonging in the lives of 25 contemporary artist whose cultural inheritance originates outside England and who have come to live and work in the UK (post-childhood). These artists hail from across the globe and come from a variety of religious, ethnic, cultural and economic backgrounds.

How have collectives become the current business model for success? We have seen the success of collectives with the Guerilla Girls (1985), the influential feminist artists pressing to change the gender and political inequalities that continue to dominate Western culture, and Marcel Dzama, founder of the Royal Art Lodge (1996), who devised collaborative drawing events that helped bring the medium back into the center stage of high art. These artists helped to bring the model of contemporary collectives back to the mainstream. Craft artists are simultaneously joining the ranks of these established collectives, by stepping outside of the traditional studio model and singular creative visions to engage and interact with national and global public communities. Embracing the global collective mentality, we visit two groups that are already reaching impressive levels of achievement. London-based Studio Manifold’s work spans beyond the dialogs between craft, digital technologies, and sculpture. Its members have been recipients of the prestigious Jerwood Makers Award and have participated as ceramic artists in residence at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK. In the US, members of the Kansas City Urban Potters are researching and re-contextualizing the role of traditional pottery and social engagement. Having raised capital for their start-up through crowdfunding and arts organizational initiatives, they are now an established LLC with an art gallery, studios, and a growing educational clay center in the heart of Kansas City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515197537593-52WMN2PA0Q8DKBFMNKXT/_Figurative_99DE.jpg Publications - The Figure as a Map to Human Experience Ceramics: Art and Perception Magazine FIGURATIVE ASSOCIATION: THE HUMAN FORM Guest Symposium Writer and Closing Speaker Author of The Figure as a Map to Human Experience The figurative association hosted its second conference at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts this year. Following the success of their first conference in 2010 this year’s exhibition, workshops, and conference panels drew audiences into a dialogue around the human figure and its place within the contemporary arts landscape. The Human Form Symposium this year featured the work of 19 artists, both internationally renowned sculptors and nine invited emerging sculptors, each one striving to challenge our conception of the use of the figure in contemporary sculpture today. The exhibition featured the work of Robert Brady, Cristina Cordova, Susan Hagen, Doug Jeck, Kris Kuksi, Elizabeth Higgins O’Connor, Bob Trotman, Christina A West, Thaddeus Erdahl, Dustin Farnsworth, and emerging artists Dean Allison, Leslie Colonna, Jacob Foran, Carmen Lang, Ashley Maxwell, Lori Norwood, Kyungmin Park, Kim Tucker, and Kumi Yamashita. Each artist brought a unique perspective into the way he or she works with the figure and how it sits within the realms of our history, culture, and the world that we inhabit. Each work transports the viewer in evocative ways, drawing us into her or his own unique vision, while critically questioning the position of the human form in the contemporary art world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555431387244-165JJ5GX01D4AEZM9VFC/Crowdfunding_Garcia_Page_1.jpg Publications - Crowdfunding for Artists Crowdfunding for Artist | Ceramic Monthly Magazine Beth Cavener and Kelsey Bowen Funding in the arts is a constant topic of discussion for many, especially for individual artists, independent galleries, museums, and community art centers. Even though a rare few are self funded, most organizations are in constant need of funding to cover operating costs, artistic programming, and educational initiatives. With such limited resources, how are individual artists expected to fund their own artistic practices? Exploring alternative sources of funding is on a steady increase, and I find that crowdfunding is on the rise, helping established and emerging artists to continue to survive and thrive in their studios. Artists are turning to peer-to-peer supported online resources such as Hatchfund (www.hatchfund.org), Indiegogo (https://entrepreneur. indiegogo.com), Patreon (www.patreon.com), Kickstarter (www. kickstarter.com), You Caring (www.youcaring.com), Fundly (https://fundly.com), Just Giving (www.justgiving.com), and Facebook (www.facebook.com). I interviewed internationally recognized ceramic artist Beth Cavener and ceramic artist and recent graduate Kelsey Bowen on their own unique experiences with successfully raising funds using online crowdfunding platforms. Beth Cavener Cavener has successfully funded two large-scale projects; one in partnership with United States Artists (USA) and the other, a self-directed funding initiative to support her volunteer-based internship… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515196530556-1RZZV8Q9IWUY0LYC0RY8/CM_Dec_BehindtheHiddenHare.jpg Publications - Behind the Hidden Hare Russell Wrankle | Ceramics Monthly Magazine Growing up in Southern California, Russell Wrankle spent his formative years wandering throughout the dusty Californian landscape. He could frequently be found exploring and observing the wilderness; a hunter at heart, he was always ready to catch his next jackrabbit. Wrankle grew up in an untamed wildness. Both inside and outside his home he lived with the dominating force of hunter versus prey for the majority of his youth. As a twelve-year-old boy, he sought and found comfort in the stillness and silence of the wilderness. Falling in love with the serenity he found solace in hunting, catching, and skinning local jackrabbits with the intention of selling the skins, even though most of the time he simply ended up tucking the skins away at home, a process that was to reap rewards later on. These hunting experiences gave Wrankle an edge, with a piece of insider knowledge and an in-depth understanding of just how real skin moves and responds to touching, ripping, pulling, and draping. With all the tangible tools he recalls as learning with his hands, he is now able to apply them to his barbarous and beastly charged contemporary sculptural works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1507007831268-LQ5XJ6I7AR9LCZBRPCS7/bk_vj.jpg Publications - VJ | Audio-Visual Art + VJ Culture Edited by D-Fuse/Michael Faulkner/Edith Garcia/& others. A major change has taken place at dance clubs worldwide: the advent of the VJ. Once the term denoted the presenter who introduced music videos on MTV, but now it defines an artist who creates and mixes video, live and in sync to music, whether at dance clubs and raves or art galleries and festivals. This book is an in-depth look at the artists at the forefront of this dynamic audio-visual experience. Crucially, it combines how-to, showcase and reference elements. It opens with a series of articles on contextual and historical issues. The central section showcases the work of over 120 international VJs and the last chapter covers equipment (hardware and software) and typical stage set-ups (explaining installing equipment, utilizing space, creating an environment to suit an audience, etc..), along with supplementary guidelines and tips on how to make a performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555431656575-K29PTJP9W3I4RJ4BOA9T/44-47_EGarcia+Edited_Page_1.jpg Publications - Counterculture Ceramics of Tom Bartel Reds, baby blues, yellows, and black; textured surfaces showcasing dots turning into polka dots; single lines turning into stripes. Magical, mysterious, and frequently gritty, these fragmented figures stand firm, embedded with broken, cracked lines that suggest a sense of experiences and the notion of implied time. The intriguing and transgressive ceramics of Tom Bartel are fueled by a combination of fine art, historical, and contemporary themes, reminding us of the ontology of humanity. His works reflect a depth of art historical knowledge, thoughtfully and attentively considered in a world of overbearing visual clutter, exploring many cultural references through reconceptualization. Tom Bartel has been working in sculptural ceramics for more than 20 years. In his formative years, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Bartel took inspiration from his childhood experiences, as well as some unexpected places. As he roamed his home town, he brought to life the architecture that surrounded him, the breaks in the façades of buildings, the cracks on the concrete beneath his feet, recognizing the ability of a city to hold its history and capture time within its broken surfaces. His fascination with the architectural landscape brings to mind the work of Gordon Matta-Clark, an artist for whom the cityscape provided creative fuel for an ongoing internal dialog, a means to communicate time and decay through frequently abandoned and invisible architecture, recomposing them into art. Tom Bartel says, “In this time and place, I grew up surrounded by decay. I think the interesting part of this is how it eventually clarified that my aesthetic originated from an early age. I am enamored with heavily worn and rustic surfaces. I find them to be rich and beautiful. I intend them to also perform as evidence of or a record for (signifying) how something has changed over time or how something has been affected by the elements and or time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1507007637067-8A5YBF844XJNKPK6N2ZB/Edith_Garcia_14_72DPI_Ceramics_Human_Cover.jpg Publications - Ceramics and the Human Figure | Available on Amazon Author of Ceramics and the Human Figure An inside look into 40 international artists and their approach to working with the human figure and clay. Representation of the human form through artistic expression has always existed in clay form, and it continues to evolve today. From exploring the whole figure, through fragmentation to the use of the body as a means to create, artists today are working with clay and the human form in very unconventional ways across the globe. Contemporary artists have learned to play with the possibilities of materials and form more so than ever before, with digital technologies enabling and enhancing the creative process. This publication features works by key ceramic artists that work within the realm of the human form, showcasing and discussing individual artists with practices within the field of installation and sculpture as well as those incorporating new technologies. The artists are divided by themes, with each chapter giving a short introduction, and then going on to display the work and ideas of each, showing the large variety of work being made today. A chapter is also included on making methods, giving making sequences of the more innovative and challenging methods used by some of these artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515199466340-FZN83E1DSCR8F2XC9HUZ/BluePlaques_Garcia.jpg Publications - London Blue Clay Culture: London’s Famous Blue Plaques Ceramics Monthly Magazine London’s famous blue ceramic plaques link the people of the past with the buildings of the present. Run by English Heritage, the Blue Plaques program celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. English Heritage is a London-based organization that oversees more than 400 historical buildings, monuments, and heritage sites in the United Kingdom, including such extraordinary sites such as Stonehenge and Hadrian’s Wall, and an impressive 58 prehistoric sites, 66 castles, 53 Roman sites, 23 historical gardens, 7 palaces, and 3 medieval villages, among others!One of their longest running and most successful programs is London’s Blue Plaques. English Heritage’s objective is to ensure that places and spaces reveal their historical significance to a contemporary audience. As a visitor, tourist, or resident taking a stroll through the city, you might casually stumble upon one of these deftly created blue ceramic plaques placed throughout the city of London. What are these plaques? Where do they come from? And, what do they mean? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1515200958281-0F5AW8AL577OL6IRT1F8/Garcia_Edith_CAP.jpg Publications - The head is thinking the body Ceramics: Art and Perception Magazine David Jones Nature seems to have endowed man alone with this organ, (the hand) so that he is enabled to form a concept of a body by touching it on all sides. (1) Edith Garcia leaves deliberate omissions, or ‘gaps’ in her work; these are points of incompleteness where the viewer has to finish the piece themselves. Marcel Duchamp, when talking about the nature of creativity, draws attention to the ‘art coefficient’ which refers to: the subjective mechanism which produces art in a raw state . . . in the chain of reactions accompanying the creative act, a link is missing. This gap which represents the difference between what he intended to realise and what he did realise, is the personal ‘art coefficient’ contained in the work...It is like an arithmetical relation between the unexpressed but intended and the unintentionally expressed . . . the spectator adds his contribution to the creative act. (2) Garcia is well known for a highly polished range of post-modern ceramics that deals with implied answers to confrontational personal questions that are suggested rather than clearly articulated. She describes these autobiographical objects in terms that appear on the surface to be an antimony (a contradiction in terms) ‘happy, ugly scars’. They are statements in ceramics of earlier pains and complexes. Born in Los Angeles she moved around the American Southwest with her parents and then to study; her practice has developed as both local and nomadic and within a tradition as well as outside and opposed to it. There has developed a strong avour of Mexico in her sculptures. The wall piece, Happy, ugly, scars which I saw most recently installed in the Museum of Modern Art in Tampa, Florida, where it had been selected for the NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) exhibition was strangely reminiscent of the Day of the Dead manifestations in its half-entertaining/half-frightening elements that seem to add up to a narrative, suggesting both humour and fear in equal measure. Characters from the narrative of her past appear as actors in her theatre of dreams and, while she was not actually raised as a Catholic, the incense of mythic ritual hangs around the work in an insubstantial cloud. She wanted to move away from what she refers to as this “quite stiff narrative work” and move towards a more expressive language – this is the new story (of the journey of her Master of Philosophy degree in ceramics at the Royal College of Arts in London, where she has been living for the past seven years). Thus, suddenly, she has presented a group of pieces that seem not to relate at all to the previous work; but we can read them as another sort of Duchampian ‘gap’: this time a kind of incompleteness in the making and fashioning process of the form. It is a re-examination of the materialty and the traditions of process-oriented making and forming. In the MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, UK (alongside a solo retrospective of Andrew Lord, the English ceramics artist who, incidentally, has moved in the opposite direction and who has been resident in the US for most of his life) she is showing work that appears to be a complete discontinuity. The objects suddenly reference the muddy materiality of clay. They are recognizable as heads but only tangentially. They are as much about the soft malleability of the medium; a contrary turn to the direction that she has exploited in clay for so long, through its ability to take precise form. This new work is another reverie made manifest. They emanate from a ‘dream time’ of Olmec heads, the dry, harsh world of Pre-Columbian South America re-memorized within the green leaness of England’s capital city. They are profoundly tactile objects; Merleau-Ponty underlines the importance of ‘the felt’, signalling its complementary association with the visual: There are tactile phenomena, alleged tactile qualities, like roughness and smoothness, which disappear completely if the exploratory movement is eliminated. Movement and time are not only an objective condition of knowing touch, but a phenomenal component of tactile data. They bring about the patterning of tactile phenomena, just as light shows up the conguration of a visible surface. (3) The Olmec heads stand in the exhibition as mythical constructs that inhabit a liminal world between here and there – a strange past reimagined for today. These giant heads appear as from an extinct civilization; they remind us also (indeed almost anagrammatically) of the Golem (the great gure fashioned of clay in the ghettos of ‘Mitteleurope’) who was to rescue the Jewish people from successive waves of pogroms. Garcia's heads are half-formed/ half-suggested, waiting to be re-animated for some unspecied trial or purpose. Despite her intentional referencing of the colossal pre-Hispanic objects, the actual pieces in the exhibition are but just a few orders greater than life-size. Yet they are nonetheless uncomfortably large and clearly wishing to assert a sculptural intent rather than the strange (almost domestic) scale of the elements within the previous installations. It is rather in the unfinished appearance of the work that they attempt to assert themselves and here that they also appear for what they are (Garcia herself talks about them as “a work in process”) suggesting a new beginning and intentionally unresolved as a result. It represents her evolution of a new visual and haptic language that, through the new-found tactility, is stretching out to new conversations through a deliberate eschewing of skill in the creation of these inchoate forms. It is pushing into new, yet uncharted, territories towards what Edith Garcia refers to as “The absence and presence of the human form in sculpture”. Footnotes 1.

The exhibit will feature dying embers, a body of work influenced by the dynamic shift we can experience in the various cultural structures between countries. Experiences that ignited new dynamic structures of thought, culture and relationships, this recent installation and sculptures work aim to expose the sinister moments and playful innocence of the modern imagination. Striving to illuminate this new shift in my recent sculptures and drawings, dying embers also investigate the anatomy and color sequence of a blue and white flame, its transparency and its relationship with water and ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1559323768242-SDNIL4FJAFCYUNPSYSAI/Edith+Garcia+Monnet+3.jpg elemental shifts: innocence in the fire 27 Personifications and 1 Perception, Porcelain Drawings, 2016 Medium: slip cast porcelain, underglazes, underglazes pencil and custom acrylic base Dimensions: 10”x8”x1” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1527369558904-0ONDAHKXK9TI3GDCXMHC/GarciaE11.jpg elemental shifts: innocence in the fire Dying Embers Installation, 2017-2018, Installation View Medium: hand built earthenware airbrushed sculpture, slip cast porcelain and hand painted underglaze, hand cut porcelain and underglaze pencil, polyurethane resin and cast ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1527369688577-DHGWASDYDT249L9YJX86/Edith+Garcia+Monnet+1.jpg elemental shifts: innocence in the fire Dying Embers Installation, 2017-2018, Installation View Medium: hand built earthenware airbrushed sculpture, slip cast porcelain and hand painted underglaze, hand cut porcelain and underglaze pencil, polyurethane resin and cast ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1527369817401-VMMI0Q2NVHL48XOFBVAD/Edith+Garcia+Monnet+4.jpg elemental shifts: innocence in the fire Dying Embers Installation, 2017-2018, Installation View Medium: hand built earthenware airbrushed sculpture, slip cast porcelain and hand painted underglaze, hand cut porcelain and underglaze pencil, polyurethane resin and cast ice. https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/fabricating-the-real daily 0.75 2019-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555034806165-8EJU2RP67CZ73OAN3KIQ/10+Edith+Garcia+Farbricating+the+Real+Drawing+Install+View.jpg fabricating the real - fabricating the real Edith Garcia has long embraced unconventional sculptural and experimental drawing projects, for the site-specific commission Fabricating the Real, she pushes her practice even further by exploring ideas of transience, the status of the object in contemporary art and theory, and notions of the sublime. The environment she created references reference the Minnesota landscape in color palette and form, bringing together a range of media including sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces in an attempt to see the familiar in unfamiliar ways. Garcia also continued her current research into the social and political structures between the USA, Latin America and Europe, a project drawn from personal global political observations. On show is Equities of Today, an artwork that works towards the investigation into the displacement of diverse individuals throughout contemporary global culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555034847906-BLK3HYDIUKU4UPQYWOME/3+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Install+View.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555036115398-QWUN3SFMP6B2GDHFF03M/11+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Drawings+Install+View+III.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555032188264-GFIIQV7ABY0PSZUJVX0X/2+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Title+Wall+Install+View.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555036032926-FGLLYQ7406PIOHGIGJPV/8+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Iceberg+Detail+.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555036067043-A50ELMWIRLS8EXEPBPZV/10+Edith+Garcia+Farbricating+the+Real+Drawing+Install+View.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555036154422-M0XJCPWEAVYV919ZCDXB/12+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Drawings+Install+View+II.JPG fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555036199188-A3OLWNVJ6SVPRCMJYY87/13+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Dirt.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555034925391-GB37F67O1YLTRG57IV7C/4+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Sunset+Installation.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555035004451-OPLEHC29Z63DIS1MF69U/5+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Sunset+Installation+Side+View.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1555035030195-BOPO3U4O0PZEASP4MX6A/6+Edith+Garcia+Fabricating+the+Real+Iceberg+Installation.jpg fabricating the real Fabricating the Real, 2019, Installation View Medium: sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1585352294159-VZG9B6DVU5ULPLGOZ4I0/Edith+Garcia+Portrait+01+300DPI.jpg Contact https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/educator daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1527800233219-C3NGWROIHBOQNW09HRFA/IMG_2752.JPG Educator California College of the Arts Ceramics Program Senior & Junior Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1527798532130-E0WY146MF8KCRSIS86W0/apv2.jpg Educator University of California, Berkeley Department of Art Practice The Art of Politics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1534532730154-9MM45941LN87UBM0OCB3/36711225_205033680210643_3914981119732219904_n%281%29.jpg Educator - Fall 2021 Professor Edith Garcia received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, MFA from the California College of the Arts and MPhil at the Royal College of Art in London.

Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, installations and recordings, the albums Mass Observation (1994), Delivery (1997), and The Garden is Full of Metal (1998) hailed by critics as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music. To date he has scored 75 contemporary dance productions, including works for the London Royal Ballet and Merce Cunningham. In 2016 he installed his Water Drops sound work in Rijeka Airport in Croatia, Ghosts at Cliveden National Trust UK, and scored the world’s first ever Virtual Reality ballet, Nightfall. He scored the hit musical comedy Kirikou & Karaba (2007) and Narnia ballet (2015) based on the popular children’s book, Philips Wake-Up Light (2009), the re-opening of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam in 2012 and in 2018 produced work that measures the quality of soil in Europe using live data with artist Kasia Molga. His work Salles des Departs is permanently installed in a working morgue in Paris whilst Vex, the residential house he designed a permanent soundtrack with Chance de Silva architects, won the RIBA London Award 2018 and was featured on the popular TV show Grand Designs. Committed to working with cutting edge practitioners he collaborated with Bryan Ferry, Wayne MacGregor, Mike Kelley, Torres, Michael Nyman, Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson, and Hussein Chalayan, amongst many others.

With face recognition technology at airports and on your smartphone, CCTV cameras on every street corner, the mapping of our movements, and public unrest at the highest levels in years, it’s a protective response. It protects the wearer from viral infection, as well as reflecting upon the political, social structures that shape global digital communities. For this design, the reflective qualities of the mirrored materials are used as a metaphor towards the concepts of surveillance, as well as cultural theories around our fabricated and curated multiple digital identities. As a sonic artist, these platforms help to give visual representation to these intangible manufactured ideal forms. The surface design of the mirror material will be a visual graphic of a sonic map that tracks the movement of one of my daily journeys—translating these movements into a graphic design that you can only see by the slightest movement of the mask on the wearer's body. These visual qualities define two concepts - the hidden paths that we leave behind and the things that we endure that we do not want to face and seek to mask. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301329930-MJGD3JYBOCGXCRAV7LEE/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+0.jpg Artist Edition | Scanner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301332327-OMZJACT3ZHEWPM8SOCK5/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+1.jpeg Artist Edition | Scanner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301337542-9H4JL4RKIJKLKYBUGLFO/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+2+%28Detail%29.jpeg Artist Edition | Scanner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301342004-V3WZKPIP2TG03FM43W4A/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+3.jpeg Artist Edition | Scanner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301340358-HGGKJG4K5DI95MQQ0LGR/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+4.jpg Artist Edition | Scanner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1593301342463-EVWOP9TFPVBF6X5JB922/Josh+Hughes+Art+Mask+5.jpg Artist Edition | Scanner https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase daily 0.75 2017-11-08 https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/wx1fss6ozeh3fezvanac6a2z5msgwa-c4dwr-ydngb-943jl monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512016767360-3245OZIOGFKOB9ESCR68/Fracture-IIIIII.jpg Purchase - Fragmented...I https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/wx1fss6ozeh3fezvanac6a2z5msgwa-c4dwr-ydngb monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512012441308-UJQOKHMI2EZBKOEH5A22/Fracture-IIII.jpg Purchase - Hidden in plain sight...IIII https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/wx1fss6ozeh3fezvanac6a2z5msgwa-c4dwr-jww7s monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512012325627-TGJBP3A8EZT2Z2S49H8J/Fracture-III.jpg Purchase - Hidden in plain sight...III https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/wx1fss6ozeh3fezvanac6a2z5msgwa-c4dwr monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512012176842-8KWHIIPOJSMRW1A22QE4/Fracture-II.jpg Purchase - Hidden in plain sight...II https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/fjk7r6ggjsbeufln2mwtuf78zbsvxr monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512011925852-YN61T5WJAEOC9SSHK437/Fracture+2.jpg Purchase - Fractures II https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/wx1fss6ozeh3fezvanac6a2z5msgwa monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512012071774-AUVTW0VPLXUQRRAVFGKN/Fracture-I.jpg Purchase - Hidden in plain sight... https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/fractures monthly 0.5 2017-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1512011783934-PAS558B96006MAQVT0ZB/Fracture+1.jpg Purchase - Fractures I https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/ladies-heart monthly 0.5 2018-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1507677611927-9BCFHSSBTEKBMTAZN4DG/Edith+Garcia+Monnet+8+72DPI.jpg Purchase - Ladies Heart https://www.edithgarciastudio.com/purchase/24-perceptions-1p monthly 0.5 2018-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a09101914e6bd4fb052fa2/1503850660168-JJM6VQ2C5Q0U1SY7HQ2H/GarciaE6.jpg Purchase - 24 Perceptions + 1P
