Studio Visit: Tanya Aguiñiga

Tanya Aguiñiga Studio

February 04, 2016

Tanya Aguiñiga is a Los Angeles-based artist, designer and craftswoman. Born and raised in Tijuana, Tanya’s work is generally textile-centric, and often combines modern design with elements of traditional craft technique and activism. She is responsible for multiple “performance crafting” happenings, including tying herself to the Beverly Hills sign and weaving while wearing traditional Mexican garments.

NeueHouse members gathered for a special tour of Tanya’s studio, in which the artist discussed her recent Creative Capital award and upcoming projects, including a site-specific installation that will challenge the concept of border controls.
