There is an unparallelled creative freedom in this place. It comes hand in hand with the redheaded elves and pestilent ghosts that skip along through the air in the studio, leaving glitter cloverleafs and the scent of damp pine behind. They wake us up at night, offering sparkle and explosion’s flash. They torment us in the afternoon, pushing video camera buttons and drawing with colored transparencies.

In the morning, they wake us up with the noise of trucks and toast, and send us back to the studio, where all manner of unknowns are created while the off-key notes of a dog howling for his home can be heard… and all this while they serve us delicious rounds of mate.

(born Paraná, Argentina, 1976; lives and works in Berkeley, California). Lucrecia presents ‘Paisaje de yerba mate’, ‘Video-costura’ and ‘Instalación CMYK’.

Lucrecia Troncoso’s residency was funded in part by Hivos and Doen Stichting as part of the Triangle Arts Trust Latin American Network.
