Maika Garnica
Maika Garnica is a visual and sound artist who lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. Central in her practice is the relationship between the environment, the spectator and the artist. She often applies prototypes to comprehend the complex relation between form and matter while instigating the position of the body as a vehicle for social connections. Through various contextual variations the nature of the work shifts spontaneously from sculptures, utilitarian objects to sound installations.
Her work is being shown both nationally and internationally, most recently in a.o. at UMACO, Utah; Wasserspeicher, Berlin; QO2 in Brussels; C-Mine Genk; Memento Festival Kortrijk, EMPAC, Troy (NY); Triennale Art & Industrie, Dunkirk and Z33, Hasselt. Garnica holds a Master of Fine arts – Sculpture from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts/Antwerp (2015) and a Master of Research in Art and Design from the St. Lukas School of Arts/Antwerp (2016).
