Maider López
Maider Lopez (b. 1975, San Sebastian, Spain) develops her work by creating interventions in public space and also in the architecture. Her works often involve the active participation of the viewer as part of a space which has been subtly altered.
Graduated at the Faculty of Fine Arts Bilbao (1998) and MFA at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London (1999), Lopez has exhibited extensively here and abroad, including the Venice and Istanbul Biennials, and Sharjah. Some examples of exhibitions in public spaces include Ataskoa, Polder Cup and Playa, alongside a number of exhibitions such as the following:
