Lucrezia Costa works across media through mixed-media installations and interventions. Her choice of medium and action is guided by the needs of each artistic investigation, allowing for an open-ended process that evolves in response to the direction of her research. Costa’s artistic practice is grounded in questions of history, loss, grieving and the collapse of ecological systems. These themes are explored through practices of care and ritual, which serve both as methodological tools and as ways of engaging with collective and environmental memory.
She has recently exhibited in Nýlistasafnið and joined the board of the museum, and at the moment she is working on her installation Landsleg at the Reykjavik’s Nordic House. She is part of the team of RÝMD, an exhibition space in Breiðholt and of Á Milli, an artist run space in downtown, Reykjavik.
