Lucia Reissig is an Argentinian/Guatemalan artist based in NYC whose work explores the memory of the body and objects through care, domestic work, informal labor, and food politics. Focusing on sculpture, she uses cooking-inspired materials and techniques to investigate textures, colors, and compositions. Her practice also spans installations, rituals, and photography, blending politics, food, and affections. She trained in DIY spaces, the Programa de Artistas (Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2017/18), and the Escuela Incierta (Lugar a Dudas, 2018), earning her MFA in Sculpture from Bard College (2024). She contributed to artist-run projects and published Sticky Floors with HambreHambreHambre in 2021.
