Coralina Meyer

I am a cultural translator. A Miami native practicing in NYC, my background I received a Bachelor's in Architecture Design at Parsons the New School of Design, and an MFA at Hunter College. I have studied abroad and was awarded fellowships at Universitat Der Kunst Berlin, Syracuse University in Florence, and Inca Architecture and Urbanism in Peru. I have exhibited at the Smithsonian, Miami Art Museum, Bronx Museum, Corcoran, NY Armory and Kunsthlerhaus Brethanien,

My work is a pyramid of personal trauma, public memory and consumer viewing history. If the 20th century introduced abstraction through archealogical discoveries during the Modern period, and Post-Modernism is a minimally grotesque collage of history, then a full scale demolition and renovation of the artes plasticas baggage is required to recover from the tragedy of poor images. Considering the programmatic dilemma of the old boys club art world, minimalism is not enough to critique American manifest destiny. Art is used, Sculpture is performed, the audience as author is implicated. To survive the coming century, we must actively critique aging Capital infrastructure, and reconsider our identities from a feminine filter. We must imagine our geographic relations as temporal, and our personal traumas as spatial histories. In aesthetic and programmatic terms, we must ask ourselves: What is Citizenship?
