CCC portrait 2018RTS is happy to welcome our Feb/March artist in residence, Claudia Cortinez!

Claudia Cortinez is a visual artist working between Buenos Aires and NYC. Her work focuses on the material traces of objects that make up urban and domestic spaces, exploring the relationship between architecture, history, and society, proposing memory as a physical and spatial quality. Through various photographic and sculptural processes she explores how information transfers between surfaces and the transformations that occur through material decomposition. Her work reflects on details within built spaces that construct the identity of a landscape and its inhabitants.

Claudia received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA at Yale University. She is the recipient of the Alice Kimball Travel Grant from Yale University (2012), the Blair Dickinson Memorial Grant from Yale University (2013), and the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant in NYC (2013), among others. She has participated in artist residencies at Mass MoCA (2017), La Ira de Dios (2016), LMCC Swing Space (2013), among others.

She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the US and Latin America.
