Silvia Malagrino Born: 1950, Buenos Aires, Argentina Resides: Chicago, IL Heritage: Argentinian Selected Exhibitions: Rochester Institute of Technology Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL Rockford Art Museum, Rockford, IL John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI Publications: Nueva Luz, Volume 3#1 "I began to take pictures in my native Argentina. A year after the coup d'etat in 1976, I turned to photography to resist and elude censorship. It was more of an anarchistic move into the spectacle of pathos, I needed to preserve the images full of pain, humiliation, poverty and helplessness. Most of my photographs come out of some inner pleasure, some sort of tension that is not clear even to me. But I do not see my interior world as separate from my social experience; the two nourish each other. I use my dreams and personal memories as the raw material for my dreams. I approach the image-making process from an interdisciplinary perspective. I use drawing, painting, and sometimes the written word in combination with photography to expand the expressive possibilities of the image."
