María Inés Drangosch
Born in Buenos Aires in 1956, she currently lives and works in Mar del Plata.
She studied at the Escuela Martín Malharro in said city. She received an important grant (de Perfeccionamiento) from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes and did an art clinic with the artist Claudia Fontes in Brighton, England.
She then conducted a workshop with the artist Erick Beltran in Can Xalant, Mataró de Barcelona, and participated in the LIPAC-Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center Project in Buenos Aires.
Since her meeting with Fontes, she began thinking of her work not just as pieces but as projects, with the installation arising as the most appropriate means of expression. With paper as an element to trigger ideas (fragility, marks, the passage of time), poetry and text as image are very present in the work she does. The artist wants her work to run some risk, be it the ink disappearing upon contact with light, the paper tearing when handled, or the blackboards being forever erased.
Of all the exhibits in which she has taken part, the most outstanding were: “Of roses, buds and other fables” in Fundación Proa (2005); “Music Box,” an installation made in Baltar Contemporáneo in Mar del Plata (2004); “Leaves for,” a project for Trama, in coordination with Pablo Siquier and Anne-Mie van Kerkhoven (2003); “Certainty of the birch that believed itself a book,” an installation in Lelè de Troya (2003); an installation in MOTP - Mar del Plata (2002 ); an exhibit in “Belleza y Felicidad” (2000); and “Unplugged” at the C.C. Victoria Ocampo, Mar del Plata (1998).
Outside Argentina, she has exhibited at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and is represented by the Jacobo Karpio Gallery in Costa Rica.
