Shulamit Nazarian, Los Angeles is pleased to present the latest video in our artist documentary series, featuring Oakland-based artist Maria A. Guzmán Capron.
Joining together an extensive palette of vibrant and often playfully patterned fabrics to construct bodily forms, Capron’s practice explores cultural hybridity, a non-binary sense of self, and the competing desires to assimilate and to be seen. The artist’s multilayered textile works offer a physical manifestation of the polyvalent influences that shape us, emphasizing that we consist of several identities—some that we repress and some that we exalt.
Recorded both in her Berkeley, CA studio and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the film features the installation currently on view in the artist’s SECA Award Exhibition Respira Hondo, as well as new works for Pura Mentira, her upcoming solo exhibition with Shulamit Nazarian, opening May 27.
