In this episode of ‘Inner Worlds’, Frieda Toranzo Jaeger invites us into her studio in Mexico City, located in the same neighborhood where she grew up. She views her lush garden atelier and the bustling barrio outside as a place to harvest ideas about identity, decolonial thinking, and forms of resistance. Her work, which combines painting, embroidery, and installation elements, often serves as coded messages for the acceleration of capitalist systems, Western canonical traditions of painting, or the construction of queer utopias. Cars are especially prominent: These, she says, are a metaphor for navigating the experience of ‘queer people, people of color, within a system that doesn’t want the best for us.’
Frieda Toranzo Jaeger is represented by Arcadia Missa (London) and Galerie Barbara Weiss (Berlin). Her work will appear in Art Basel Miami Beach’s Positions sector. Her first major solo exhibition ‘Frieda Toranzo Jaeger: Autonomous Drive’ is showing at MoMA PS1 through March 13, 2023.
