Nayda Collazo-Llorens
San Juan, PR, 1968
Biography Details
Painter, graphic and digital artist, video artist and creator of installations for specific places and artistic interventions. She earned a BA in 1990 from Massachusetts College of Art and an MA in 2002 from New York University (NYU), both in fine arts. She received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship in 2012 and a Research Fellowship from the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership in 2014. She has completed several art residencies, including the New York Harvestworks Program (2000), and has received awards at various events in and outside of Puerto Rico. In recent years she has made public interventions in San Juan and New York, where she lives. She works with the concepts of time and memory and with the contradiction between the inner, spiritual experience, and the outer experience of the urban and its chaos. She uses symbols and the repetition of images and numbers to describe the fragmented and intangible nature of information processing in the human mind, one of her main conceptual investigations. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Art Net, Art US, Art Nexus, Art News, Arte al Día International, BOMBlog, and Newcity, among others.
Artist Statement
Through a multidisciplinary practice, I examine the way we perceive and process information, and other concepts related to navigation, memory, language, hyperconnectivity and noise. I use various strategies to compile marks, images, sounds and texts, which are edited, combined and restructured in cartographic systems or sensory spaces, among other modalities. In drawings on paper and cloth, spots, lines, marks, numbers and text are interconnected creating structures or systems where marks collide, cross and repel each other in an organic but systematic way. My text works explore post-alphabetic communication, informational overflow, noise and chance, through the use of video, printed material and installations. My most recent public interventions and in-situ installations explore sampling as an artistic strategy or practice, inviting the viewer to reflect on the complexities of the mind and the fragmented way in which we perceive the inner and outer world, particularly in this age so complex where information overload and hyperconnectivity go hand in hand with distancing and dissociation.
