Community Project

Elefante Blanco – Centro de Estudios de Bachillerato Emiliano Zapata, Río Grande
The community project of the Mexican artist Fritzia Irizar consisted of the reconstruction of government plans in infrastructure and failed monuments. Examples of bad administration and the apparent corruption in their processes have led them to inoperative or have not been able to be concluded. Positioning them as an example of what is known as “white elephant.” These sculptures – a reminder of global impunity, will be reproduced during daylight hours, leaving the sea to destroy them when the tide rises, which is also a recreation of the fading of our work in the form of public resources.

Lives and works in Culiacán

b. Culiacan, Mexico. 1977. Lives and works in Culiacán.
Fritzia Irízar’s work has questioned the value of money and its purchasing power, she plays with the economic and symbolic revaluation of objects as they move from their common field to art. Her work recognizes that history and science are almost fictions, built on small surfaces of knowledge and are subject to the decision of a few individuals. However, they are fictions that we want to hold: as acts of faith, of belonging, of will or certainty.
Fritzia obtained the 2011 Bancomer-MACG scholarship and a commissioned work for Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) during that same year, the residency program AIR-KREMS in Austria in 2013. In 2016 she was part of the residency program at Les Récollets, Paris and Headlands Center for the Arts, San Francisco. She participated in the Mercosul Biennial in Porto Alegre in 2013 (curated by Sofía Hernández Chong), had a solo exhibition at the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (2014) and participated in the 2015 Mercosul Biennial (curated by Gaudencio Fidelis).
Her most recent exhibitions include Camaleón Blanco/JMAF at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Obliteraciones at Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, Rastros y Vestigios: Indagaciones sobre el presente and Prospección al Nuevo Territorio at Arredondo \ Arozarena gallery.
