A conversation with Houston-based artist Angel Lartigue about the use of scientific methods in performance art and about the relationship between the land of South Texas and her own body, as well as other’s.
Angel Lartigue’s art practice thus far has been brief (about five years), but it’s also very rich. We sit down to talk about the ways in which the land of South Texas that’s so connected to death and the death of migrants specifically, beckoned her. There she begins to finds ways to resurrect the dead by using scientific methods that help to highlight life among the dead. This process further expands to unlikely places like the night club, as well as galleries and other performance spaces.
