Obra/Works

(Asturias, Spain, 1977)

 

Vive y trabaja en Madrid / Lives and works in Madrid

Artista e investigadora, trabaja en diferentes medios como la fotografía, el vídeo el diseño gráfico o la escultura. Con sus proyectos cuestiona discursos, dinámicas y retóricas que han sido asumidas en el ámbito del arte contemporáneo, la imagen o la filosofía. Su producción tanto teórica como práctica, se centra en la trasformación del paradigma postmoderno en relación con la cultura visual digital.

 

Esta línea de investigación intereses la ha llevado a generar propuestas que desafían formas tradicionales de producción, exhibición y documentación. Su obra ha sido expuesta internacionalmente en lugares como la Bienal de Liverpool en el año 2014 o The Billboard Creative en Los Ángeles en 2016. A nivel nacional ha expuesto entre otros espacios en el CCCB de Barcelona, la Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid, o el Centro de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid. Además su proyecto de investigación doctoral, que está desarrollando en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid bajo el título Transfotografía o la Deriva Postfotográfica: una relectura de la teoría fotográfica en la era Post-Internet, ha recibido el apoyo de instituciones como la Fundación Banco Santander o la Universidad de Córdoba.

Ira Lombardía is an artist and researcher who works in different media such as photography, video, graphic design or sculpture. With her work she questions discourses, dynamics and rhetorics that have been assumed in the realm of contemporary art, image and philosophy. The production, both theoretical and practical, focuses on the transformation of the postmodern paradigm in relation to the digital visual culture.

 

This line of research interest has led to generate proposals that challenge traditional forms of production, exhibition and documentation. Her work has been exhibited internationally in venues such as the Liverpool Biennial in 2014 or The Billboard Creative in Los Angeles in 2016 or Festival Europeo de Fotografía in Regio Emilia, Italy. At a national level she has exhibited among other spaces in the CCCB of Barcelona, the National Library of Madrid and the Center Of Young Art of the Community of Madrid. In addition, her doctoral research project, which she is developing at the Complutense University of Madrid under the title Transfotography or Postphotographic Derivative: a re reading of photographic theory in the Post-Internet era, has received the support of institutions such as the Banco Santander Foundation, The University of Córdoba.
