(b. 1977 Santiago, Chile).
Isidora Correa studied at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago obtaining a degree in art. Influenced by objectual art, arte povera, and conceptualism, her work's primary emphasis has been upon a revaluation of residual objects retrieved from urban landscapes. The concepts and visual aspects of her work reflect an economic and social background that is distinctly Latin American. Her materials establish renewed relationships of intimacy by replacing (owner and object) with (art and viewer). Cutting is the critical active force throughout her work, offering new perspectives that reveal an otherwise unavailable world of vivified color, vitality and "newness" - all coming from inside these taterred objects. The artist is cutting to demonstrate that the material has not concluded as its discarded status suggests, offering hope in renewal beginning with the force of recycling and then cutting as a catalyst of transformation.
