Ana Gutieszca (1984) is a visual and sound artist born in the dry lands of the northern Mexican plateau. Drawing is the core of her work. By addressing the question of the animal and its ambivalent presence through symbolic thinking, she embraces the otherness. With a background in visual arts and music, she sculpts the unfathomable boundaries of drawing through the creation of analog instruments, the sonification of graphite and its deconstruction into performance art. Her music is rough as the desert, combining hypnotic brain-melting noise from self-made analogs and blistering broken techno beats from drum machines. She is also known for being a founder member of Third Space; a gallery located in the center of Helsinki where she curates the Sound Room concert series.
