Our reading written by Costa Rica Artists
The works on Priscilla Monge's profile pair domestic materials and gestures with violence: death sentences she embroidered on linen in 1994, boxing gloves set with music boxes in 1997, and a 1998 video titled Lecciones de maquillaje, makeup lessons. A book carved in marble won a sculpture biennial prize in 1999.
A line on the profile names the theme directly: the aggression and violence of contemporary manners. Her exhibition list runs from a museum show at home to two international biennials.
