Mercedes Azpilicueta is a visual and performance artist from Buenos Aires, currently living and working in Amsterdam. Known for her performances and language-based work, her artistic practice in recent years has brought together various characters from the past and present to address the vulnerable and collective body from a decolonial feminist perspective. Through fluid, associative connections, she challenges rigid historical narratives, dismantling them to create space for affective and dissident voices to emerge. Her work manifests in performative and sculptural installations, drawing inspiration from speculative and fictional Latino literature, Neo- Baroque art history, contemporary popular culture, and new materialism theory. In her collaborative and interdisciplinary practice, Azpilicueta combines “precarious,” craft-based techniques— historically associated with domestic and obsolete knowledge—with industrialized production methods. Lately, she has been researching concepts such as time, labor, play, use, and public space. A central question has been the connection between how we use space and its objects. She has been working on commissions for sculptures in public settings as a way to explore sculpture as an asset that belongs, and is accessible, to everyone. In May 2025, Salta art presented Azpilicueta’s exhibition An Art Student in Munich, in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes in Munich.
