Luciana Lamothe (Buenos Aires, 1975) is a visual artist whose practice spans sculpture, performance, drawing, photography, and video. Her work investigates the transformative capacity of matter through the relationships between materials, bodies, and spaces. Concepts such as transmateriality and monomateriality function as central strategies for exploring the physical, symbolic, and experiential potential of materials. Lamothe creates spaces of indeterminacy that test the limits and tensions between opposing conditions—rigid and flexible, soft and hard, use and function, industrial and natural, human and nonhuman—reconfiguring how we inhabit and perceive the world. She lives and works in Buenos Aires. In 2024, she was selected to represent Argentina at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia and received a grant from the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation’s Scholarships and Commissions Program. In 2023, she presented the solo exhibition Cien caminos en un solo día at the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires. Recent presentations include Bienalsur (Argentina and Chile, 2021), Meridians at Art Basel Miami (2019), and the Public Art Program of Art Basel Cities: Buenos Aires (2018). That same year, she received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Lamothe has participated in major international exhibitions and biennials —Lyon, Berlin, Montevideo, and Gothenburg Biennials—, and has exhibited widely in Argentina and abroad. She has completed artist residencies at Art Dubai, MANÁ Wynwood, AIR Antwerp, and Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture.
