Claudia Kaatziza Cortínez is an Argentine/Chilean/American visual artist. Her studio practice combines printmaking, sculptural and photographic techniques that depict urban and domestic architecture as sites of reflection and transformation. She uses materials such as paper pulp and light sensitive chemistry to capture imprints of spaces and objects, exploring how relationships between architecture, time, light and memory can communicate a larger narrative. Claudia is cofounder of LAZO, an art collective that brings together Latinx artists to create participatory projects and installations. Claudia received her BFA from RISD and MFA from Yale. Recent awards/residencies include: Yale Norfolk Teaching Fellowship, Silver Art Projects Residency, Rema Hort Mann Grant, Center for Book Arts Residency, LES Printshop Residency, LMCC Community Engagement Grant, NARS Foundation, Tou Trykk Printshop Residency, among others. She has exhibited her work in solo and group shows in the US, Latin America, and Europe, and has curated exhibitions at the Eduardo Sívori Museum, Shirley Fiterman Art Center, The Clemente, among others.
