Portrait by Filipe Zapelini. Brooklyn, NY.
Dulce Lamarca is an Argentinian-born interdisciplinary artist working mainly across video, photography, performance, and public engagement. Her background as a cellist and her years working with terminally ill patients have deeply informed her interest in time as both subject and material. Through a conceptual, project-based approach, her practice serves as a meditation on the passage of time and evokes introspection about how we live our lives.
Her current work is rooted in the interplay between material consumption and our relationship with the environment. It addresses the consequences of urban living, overconsumption, and environmental degradation, while reflecting on our interconnectedness with other species and among ourselves.
Lamarca’s work has been exhibited internationally in China, South Africa, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Argentina, and the United States, at venues including A.I.R. Gallery, Spring Break Art Show, Project for Empty Space, Five Myles, and Latin American Theater Experiment & Associates in New York; Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires; Blue Oyster Art Project Space in Dunedin, New Zealand; the Doral Contemporary Art Museum in Florida; Museo del Desierto in Saltillo, Mexico; to name a few.
Her work has been featured and reviewed by publications including e-flux, Hyperallergic, The New York Times, Qian Shan Wan Bao Times, Otago Daily Times, La Nación, Miami New Times, TEDx Taiwan, Terremoto, Qra33, Daily Lazy, Arte Nómada, Art511, and Rumbo Sur, among others. She has been recently interviewed by Ashlin Ballif at Burntout.
She holds a BFA in Painting and Arts Education from Regina Espacio de Arte in Buenos Aires, an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York, and is currently completing a diploma in Visual Arts Management, Marketing, and Commercialization through an online program based in Madrid.
Alongside her artistic practice, Dulce Lamarca works as an educator, advisor, and arts worker, offering mentorships on career development and arts management to emerging artists, as well as consultations to mid-career and established artists. She has over nine years of professional experience supporting artists and cultural institutions in New York through creative, administrative, and financial leadership. Her work as an arts professional intersects with her pedagogical practice, through which she has taught and facilitated programs for more than a decade in museums, NGOs, and both private and public schools in Argentina and the United States. Her experience includes roles at major museums and art institutions such as El Museo del Barrio and Performa; galleries including La Salita and Proto Gallery; nonprofit organizations such as Andando and My Hands My Tools; and educational institutions including the Dalton School in New York. She has worked as Studio Manager for artist Pablo Helguera and continues to assist him on his teaching. She currently works as Finance Manager at Marilyn Minter Studio and serves as an advisor for the Uncool Artist Residency program.
Dulce currently lives and works between Buenos Aires and New York.
