Linarejos Moreno, Madrid 1974 (Texas and Madrid based)
Artist, scholar and associated professor in Design and Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), Linarejos Moreno has been an invited Fulbright scholar at Rice University in Houston and a visiting professor of The School of Art in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Houston.
Her work explores subjectivity as a mode of resistance to reification, focusing on the non-productive uses of industrial spaces and scientific representation as a tool for interrogating modernity. Her research interests include the sociology of science/technology and the relationship between capital and contemporary forms of Romanticism.
Linarejos Moreno is an artist whose practice is rooted in painting and extends across installation, publishing, photography, and research. Through industrial materials and scientific and technological imaginaries, her work explores subjectivity, otherness, modernity, and the social structures that shape contemporary forms of knowledge.
Represented by Inman Gallery since 2012, Moreno has presented solo exhibitions at major Spanish museums and art institutions and is currently the subject of a solo exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum. International presentations include the Station Museum of Contemporary Art and the Transart Foundation for Art and Anthropology (Houston).
