Amalia Pica’s practice, which includes sculpture, performance, installation, drawing and video, explores human communication, its failures and intimacy. Human modes of interaction, such as the desire to be understood and accepted, are central to her work.

Having been born during the 'Dirty War' in Argentina, Pica’s works further consider the issue of state control, history, representation and systems of bureaucracy. In her performances, she explores the ways civic participation can become a mode of resistance to political oppression across time and cultures. ...
