Marina Núñez

With her recent visual work, Marina Núñez (Palencia, 1966) invites us to reflect on how the increasingly common interference between the human and the technological affects our subjectivity and our lives. A constant feature of her work has always been the representation of aberrant, different beings, those who exist on the margins or contrary to the canon. The anomalous bodies that populate her paintings, infographics, or videos speak to us of a metamorphic, hybrid, multiple identity. She recreates a destabilized and impure subjectivity for which otherness is not something alien, but fundamentally constitutes the human being.
Thus, his hysterical women, jellyfish, mummies, monsters, and cyborgs, despite belonging to the realm of the excluded, don't seem distant to us but rather affect and identify with us. And his images are perceived as slightly distorted mirrors that suggest that madness or monstrosity are simply a matter of degree.
Marina Núñez's work is part of prominent collections such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, MUSAC, Artium, CA2M, La Caixa, Fundación Botín, Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Katzen Art's Center, FRAC Corse, Cairo Museum, etc., and has been widely disseminated both within and outside the art world, as the author of publications and conference texts. Since 1993, she has held numerous exhibitions in prestigious museums and galleries in Europe, Latin America, and the United States. These include solo exhibitions at the Museo Reina Sofía, MUSAC, Artium, Es Baluard, the Chapel of the Patio Herreriano Museum, the Centre d'Art La Panera, Burgos Cathedral, and the intervention on the façade of the IVAM (National Institute of Art), among others. She has also held exhibitions at Galerías Buades, Galerías OMR, Galerías Pilar Serra, Galerías Espacio Mínimo, Galerías John Berggruen, and many others.
