We are very excited to award this year’s residency prize to a woman artist:
Wynnie Mynerva (b.1992, Lima, Peru) lives and works between Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Lima, Peru.
Wynnie Mynerva is an artist whose work spans installation, performance, sculpture, and primarily painting. She graduated from the Escuela Nacional Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Perú, and studied Art History at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos.
Her projects are an extension of her body, an erotic and synthetic field of plastic exploration. Her pieces are both pictorial and performative. Pigment on canvas and plastic operate on the same level as the incisions she chooses to make on her body. Both are technologies aimed at disrupting the normative truth of sex and gender.
