Clara Esborraz

Clara Esborraz (b. 1991, Rafaela, Argentina) will use the Grant to continue a work in progress that reflects on the body, intertwining a series of sculptures, photographs, performances and installations. The work is based on the construction of photos and domestic objects in which bodies melt, hangers twist and bodies have the possibility of falling, making this an exercise that strengthens them.

Clara Esborraz has a degree in Fine Arts from the National University of Rosario. In 2017 they completed the Artists Program at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and in 2018 they participated in the URRA residency, in Argentina. Esborraz has exhibited in solo and group shows such as El fin de la ciudad (PIEDRAS Galería, 2022), Cuerpos intermitentes (CCK, 2022), La hora rota (Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, 2019), among others. They are part of the drawing collective Geometría pueblo nuevo, with which they made the graphic novel SED DE ÉXITO for Mónica Heller's exhibition at the Argentine Pavilion of the 59th Venice Biennale. They participated in the Gasworks residency, London, 2023, in alliance with URRA, thanks to the support of Erica Roberts and the collaboration of the arteBA Foundation.
