Johanna Unzueta (b.1974, Santiago) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Unzueta’s work draws on the natural world and the balance between the earth and its living counterparts. Unzueta engages with her Chilean history through its landscape, communities, and labor practices, often working with organic materials indigenous to Latin America. In an interdisciplinary practice that spans drawing, weaving, installation, mural-making, and film, the artist uses common materials such as recycled wood, thread, felt, cotton, paper, and natural pigments to testify to the social impact of grown and circulated objects within a beleaguered economy. Recent institutional exhibitions include DAS MINSK Potsdam, Germany (2024); National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC (2023); Tate Modern, London (2023); The Drawing Center, New York (2022); and Modern Art Oxford, UK (2020). Unzueta’s work is in the permanent collections of the Tate, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Queens Museum, New York; MSU Broad Art Museum, East Lansing; Frac Bretagne, Rennes; and Museo de Artes Visuales, Santiago.
