    Martin Gustavsson

    2016

    Representing the inaugural artist in residence at Proyecto AMIL, Martin Gustavsson will be residing and working in Lima for three months, commencing in February 2016. Gustavsson’s practice shifts the conventional aesthetics of painting, reinventing methods of installation and interaction. The medium of painting marks a starting point for reflecting on the impact of image making in relation to religion, homophobia and different types of colonialism. Through both their subject matter and manner of hanging, the work forces through visual and societal restraint, making visible the fragility of inherited convention. For the artist’s Proyecto AMIL residency, Gustavsson will expand the studio space into an active participatory space, inviting both the public and local artists to witness and engage in the process creation and presentation of his newest work.
