Born 1965 in Valladolid, Spain, Dora García now lives and works in Barcelona after having resided in Brussels for over two decades. García uses a range of media including performance, video, text and installation. Her practice investigates the conditions that shape the encounter between the artist, the artwork and the viewer. Her work focuses more particularly on the notions of duration, access and readability, concerned with the privilege afforded to “those in the know”. García’s pieces often involve staging unscripted scenarios that elicit doubt as to the fictional or spontaneous nature of a given situation. They predetermine set rules of engagement or utilize recording devices to frame both conscious and unconscious forms of spectator participation. García’s work also explores the political potential rooted in marginal positions: namely the figures of the outsider, the outcast and the outlaw, paying homage through several works to eccentric and often anti-heroic personas, including the stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce.
Dora García has recently presented solo exhibitions including at Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland (2010), Index Contemporary Art Foundation, Stockholm (2010), Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela (2009), Galerie Michel Rein, Paris (2009), Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam (2009) and Wilkinson Gallery, London (2009). Her work has been shown in numerous museums and international exhibitions, including “The Flower of May” as part of the Gwangju Biennial, Gwangju (2010), “Heaven”, the 2nd Athens Biennial, Athens (2009), “Le spectacle du quotidian”, the 10me Biennale de Lyon, Lyon (2009), “U-Turn”, the 1st Quadrennial for Contemporary art, Copenhagen (2008) and “H Box” at Centre Pompidou, Paris, MUSAC, Leon, Spain, MUDAM, Luxembourg and Tate Modern, London (2007-2008).
Dora García is represented by Galerie Michel Rein, Paris, Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam and Galeria Juana de Aizpuru, Madrid.
