TERE RECARENS


WORKS |  BIOGRAPHY

Born 1967, Barcelona, Spain, lives and works in Berlin, Germany

Berlin-based artist, Tere Recarens has gained increasing recognition for her eclectic outpouring of works, in which her often eccentric preoccupations are as much a part of her life as her art. For a number of years, Recarens has produced countless drawings that often seem to propose metaphorical and/or exotic interpretations of everyday life, as in the Monkey and Panther series presented at Parker's Box. In some cases, her drawings translate into performances, installations, videos, photographs or sculptures, almost always of an autobiographical nature. Recarens is the (modest) star of her own (eccentric) life. For example, in a recent video, ETC. (etcetere), Recarens takes us to Estonia where she had heard that "Tere!" is a common greeting. The video finds her accosting Estonians with her own name, and reveling in their response. In Besenrein, Recarens layers the daredevil act of skydiving with the domestic activity of sweeping, emerging with yet another surreal side of her ongoing self-portraiture project.
