Veronica Ruth Frias - Whoman House
Artist Biography: Veronica Ruth Frias (Spain, 1978) is a Spanish feminist contemporary artist based in Malaga, her works are formed by performances in which the body is subject to the work. She graduated in Fine Arts from the Faculty of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville. Appropriation, costumes and tattoos are some of her tools with which she places her body at the service of art and transforms the personal into artistic practices. Sarcasm, irony and humor are fundamental for the artist, although she deals with very serious issues such as the construction of the feminine, motherhood, violence against women or discrimination against women in the history of art. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions including Super M at ECCO in Cadiz, Narraciones Extra(ordinarías) at ABA Art Gallery in Palma de Mallorca or Yo quiero mucho a mi mamá at Tula Prins Gallery in Cordoba, and has received grants and awards such as the INICIARTE Production Grant from the Junta de Andalucía, the Rafael Botí Grant from the Rafael Botí Provincial Foundation of Plastic Arts in Cordoba, the DESENCAJA Plastic Arts Contest in Malaga or the X Pepe Espaliú Plastic Arts Contest, also in Cordoba.
WOMANHOUSE The installation photography Womanhouse, is composed of a photograph and an object formed by books that simulates a house, where the artist emphasizes the importance of the knowledge acquired throughout our lives, and how for women is transcendental the word and writing. Books are transmitters of knowledge, both for training and information, and to have the intellectual and analytical tools to reflect, to build and reconstruct the knowledge learned and history and its protagonists. In the photograph, in a performative way, the artist sits at a table covered with books, mainly feminist and biographical of women, to, one by one, cover her head with them, wrapping and holding them with transparent plastic film, forming a kind of habitat or space of knowledge. A space of their own, like a mental "room of their own" that is also formulated in the form of an object, which can be seen in the installation.
