Regina José Galindo (Guatemala, b. 1974) is one of the most radical performance artists in Latin America today. Her work is inspired by the performances of body-oriented artists of the 1960s and 1970s such as Marina Abramović, Chris Burden, Orlan and Gina Pane. She uses her own body to test her mental and physical limits adding to her works the social context from which her artistic projects emerge.
This video includes an interview with her (in Spanish) and clips from some of her performance work. On Thursday, May 24, beginning at 7:00pm, she will present the premiere performance of her work titled Third World, which was commissioned by MOLAA, during the opening night of her exhibition Vulnerable.
Vulnerable, curated by Idurre Alonso will be composed of some performance related objects, videos documenting some of the most significant performances by Galindo, as well as the stage and documentary video of Third World.
