Edburg, Daniela

Daniela Edburg is a Mexican artist born in Texas in 1975. She studied Visual Arts at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City. Her photographic fictions are the result of collaboration with friends and acquaintances. In recent years, her practice has expanded to include the integration of textile elements. The main focus of her work is the human connection to nature through the artificial. Seeking to create connections to feel out of place, Daniela has undertaken artist residencies in Iceland, Spain, France, the Canadian Rockies, and the United States, thanks to repeated support from the National Fund for Culture and the Arts, the support of the Quai Branly Museum, the Denver Art Museum, and independent spaces such as Casa Cherryhurst. Among her most recent group exhibitions are "Mi Tierra, Contemporary Artists Explore Place" at the Denver Art Museum, "Point/Counterpoint: Contemporary Mexican Photography" at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and "Uncontainable Portraits" at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Her work has been acquired for public collections such as the Collection of the Museum of Art of the Americas in Washington D.C, the Museum of Latin American Art in California, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo, Norway. Since 2017, she has been a member of the National Creators System with the support of the National Fund for Culture and the Arts of Mexico (SISTEMA NACIONAL DE CREADORES, FONCA-CONACULTA). She lives in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and currently works in the guerrero-projects program in Houston, TX (until April 2018). She is represented in Mexico by ENRIQUE GUERRERO GALLERY and in Italy by SPAZIO NUOVO.
