Queer Nature
Valerie’s Factory, in its insistence on intermedial futurities, presents two young artists, Trinidad Metz Brea (1994) and Valentina Quintero (1997), who are deeply engaged in queering nature by dismantling the binary of nature/culture. In their works, the “queer performativity of nature” is mutable, multiple, indeterminate, discontinuous, inventive, materializing, and promiscuous. Life thinks and speaks everywhere, transforming nature into a system of cultural diferences.

Trinidad Metz Brea (b.1994) is a Buenos Aires based artist with a BFA from Universidad Nacional de Arte (2021). Her work delves into experimental practices that blend traditional and digital techniques  in sculpture, drawing and printmaking. Addressing themes of survival, desire and rejection in emotionally charged scenarios and hybrid figures that explore the possibility of a planetary existence that transcends our current reality.

Valentina Quintero (b. 1997) is a visual artist and performer from Mendoza. Her visual work feeds from the scenic field, such as theater and music, crossing the boundaries of artistic disciplines. Femininity, non-binarism, the re-writing of art history in a trans key, popular culture, are some of the components that conjure the work that the artist performs in different media such as photo performance, installation, live performance and drawing.
