- Summary:
- "Precise in her methodology, Teresa Burga notes in the margins of her drawings the day and time she starts and finishes them. Ever since she started working as an artist, in the 1960s, she has taken a playful approach toward systematic processes. Critiquing the labor arenas traditionally assigned to women, such as housework and childcare, she interrogates the role of women in her home country of Peru (whose experiences are shared by many throughout the world). While questions of femininity and authorship inform Burga's content, they also frame the production of her art. By appropriating the artwork of children in her intimate circle, she has subverted the customary female role, and by outsourcing fabrication in the 1960s-unusual in the Lima art scene at the time-she has distanced her work from her hand..."-- provided by distributor.
