Cristina Garrido is a visual artist whose work explores the systems that shape and legitimize contemporary art. Working with video, objects, installations, publications and performance, she examines how images, ideas and value circulate within the art world. Her projects often begin with the observation of exhibitions, art fairs, archives or artistic discourse, which she reinterprets through strategies of humor, irony and mimicry. By appropriating formats such as the guided tour, the catalogue or the exhibition display, her work reflects on the hierarchies, narratives and conventions that structure the experience of art.
She studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid and Camberwell College of Arts (London), and holds an MA in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Art, supported by the Fundació “la Caixa” Grant.
Recent solo exhibitions include Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (Mexico City), MACS Grand-Hornu (Hornu) and Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo – CA2M (Madrid).
Her work has also been shown internationally at institutions such as Fondation CAB (Brussels), Cloud Seven (Brussels), The British Museum (London), Kupferstich-Kabinett, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Centro Botín (Santander), CASS Sculpture Foundation (UK), Spike Island (UK), and EKKM (Tallinn), among others.
She has participated in public programs at The Photographers’ Gallery (London), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), and La Triennale di Milano, and her work is held in the collections of MACBA (Barcelona), Museo CA2M (Madrid), The British Museum (London), TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and the D. Daskalopoulos Collection, amongst others.
