Forget #2

Ana Garcia-Pineda (Sabadell, Spain, 1982) collects real stories and connects different facts in order to make narrations that gives another perspective of how things work. She also proposes poetic solutions (like Machine to make Alzheimer’s only a ect our sad memories or Machine that allows suicide victims to give away the years they were supposed to live) that just work on an abstract and unrealistic way. Her work offers poetical solutions to our everyday tragedies. Garcia-Pineda holds degrees from the Fine Arts University of Barcelona and Universität der Künste Berlin as well as post graduate degrees from Goldsmiths College London and FdM Barcelona. She has exhibited in Argentina, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Paraguay, Spain and the US.
