Romina Gonzales (b. 1989) is a New York based, Peruvian interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture, video, installation, printmaking, writing and performance. Her work is a visual record of actions that elicit transformation to comment on society, culture and politics. Narratives are dictated by the syntax of mundane situations and substances that undergo simple and seemingly natural, yet arbitrary processes dictated by her own experience. These question perception, interpretation, subjectivity and cause-effect patterns in rational thinking and behavior.
Exhibitions and collections include Vitraria Museum in Venice, Italy (2014), the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York (2014), Fundación Euroidiomas in Lima, Perú (2020), Memorial Sloan Kettering Infusion Center in Brooklyn (2015) and the Museum of American Glass in New Jersey (2019). Her work has been featured in the New York Times, New York Post, New York Magazine, CBS New York, Hyperallergic, Sight Unseen, Glass Quarterly Magazine and New Glass Review by the Corning Museum of Glass. Gonzales regularly collaborates with international artists and designers and has an active teaching practice, having conducted lectures and presentations for Stanford University, Cornell University, Bard Graduate Center, Brooklyn Tech High School and Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University, among others. She graduated from New York University after attending Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
