Alva CalyMayor was born in Mexico City. She often explores diverse materials utilizing a visual vocabulary that addresses social issues, perceptions of safety as well as patterns of mass consumption. CalyMayor works between New York and Mexico City, exhibiting and researching her practice in relationship to her contemporaries through collaborative efforts and communal exhibitions. In 2015 she was included in a program curated by The BHQFU in conjunction with Air Residency featuring the work of 5 emerging artists. One of her most recent collaborations involves a limited edition presented by Ed. Varie, a sound vessel which reproduces sounds commissioned to 6 artists and musicians. This work explores situations inspired in the Art Market, Art Fairs and as an artist/‘curadora/curandera.’ Image: Emiliano Granado
