C.J. Chueca was born in Lima, Perú and moved to New York in 2003. Her
history and the history of her family of perpetual immigrants, along
with the history of many new habitants of New York City, has lead her to
explore the concepts of home, territory, transition, multiculturality,
uprooting and solitude. On one way, focusing on talking about those
lives that are still on the road (or without route) in the streets of
the world. She makes installations with ceramic objects, mosaics as well
as paintings and drawings. Eleanor Heartney writes in her essay:
“Something there is that doesn’t love a wall”: C.J. Chueca creates
walls that neither contain nor separate. Instead, they provide insight
into the complex ways that walls operate in our lives."
In a parallel path, she is mesmerized by the power of water, it's never
ending ride, it's possibility to pass through the smallest gap, it's
condition of eternal traveler. In her words "We are water, as we are
rivers that will eventually mix with other rivers in the deepest water
of the ocean."
She is currently an artist in residency at the Sugar Hill Museum where
she will have a solo show opening in June 2023 curated by Blanca de la
Torre. Upcoming projects include a public commission in the Bronx with
Percent for Art, from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
