Fritzia Irízar (Culiacán, Mexico, 1977) questions issues such as the social condition that allow the construction of different schemes and hierarchies of value, creating pieces that analyze elements and materials of everyday use on a symbolic, practical and commercial level. Irízar plays with the economic and symbolic revaluation of objects when they move from their common sphere to become part of art. In 2011, she obtained the grant BANCOMER-MACG and she was chosen by the commission of the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) of the USA in its awards and commissions program. She has participated in several residencies, such as Les Récollets (France), AIR-KREMS (Austria), Headlands (USA), Ciudad de la Cultura de Galicia/CHARCO (Spain) and Casa Wabi (Mexico). Irizar participated at the Mercosur Biennial (Porto Alegre, Brazil), Cuenca Biennial (Ecuador) and BIENALSUR (Argentina). Her work is part of collections such as Isabel and Agustín Coppel Collection (Mexico), Cisneros Fontanals Foundation (USA), Servais family Collection (Belgium), Catherine Petitgas Collection (France), Bank of Spain Collection, among others.
