Our reading written by Costa Rica Artists
Lucía Madriz trained as a painter, but the works her profile describes reach past the canvas. MoneyTalks, from 2003, is an installation made of rice and beans.
The same year she made Dolor de Cabeza, a video of 5:15 minutes that took second place in a Central American video-art competition, and studied abroad on a DAAD exchange. The profile lists two international biennials.
