Marie Orensanz began her artistic career studying painting with two of the foundational artists of Argentine Modernism: Emilio Pettoruti and Antonio Seguí. An active member of the art scene in Buenos Aires in the 1960s and 1970s, she participated in the exhibitions and cultural activities organized by the Instituto Torcuato Di Tella, and she was involved with the Centro de Arte y Comunicación.
“The incomplete is a constant of my work, Orensanz says, and I try that everything is not limited to one single idea (polysemy). I feel that we are all receivers and transmitters of them. I think that we are all fragments of a whole and at the same time, we are part of a past and of a future. All the videos, the fragmented marbles, and other works are united by “incompletion”. Fragmentism is an open discourse.”
Marie Orensanz has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe, Latin American and the United States. Her works are included in many institutional collections, amongst them the Museo Nacional de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires (Mamba), Centre Pompidou (CMAM), Fond National d’Art Contemporain, Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris and Fondation Camille. Marie Orensanz lives and works between Buenos Aires and Paris.
