Lupe Martinez has lived here in Vancouver for just over a year now, and has had the challenge of merging two artistic and cultural influences: Vancouver and Argentina, or you might say, the North and South Americas. Vancouver is known for cool, conceptually driven, neat and tidy artwork, extremely minimal; Argentina has a radically different art scene: outgoing, forthcoming, over the top and emotive. During the month of December 2009, Lupe Martinez will be making an outdoor, time-based sculpture at 1923 Graveley Street. Moments after her Hammock Residency is finished, Lupe will be going to the Banff Centre for the Arts.
