Martine Gutierrez <\/strong>is a transdisciplinary artist, utilizing photography and video to subvert various performances of pop-cultural tropes in the exploration of identity\u2014both personally and collectively intersectional to the ideologies of power, beauty, and heritage. Her amass of media\u2014ranging from billboards to episodic films, music videos and renowned magazine, Indigenous Woman<\/em>\u2014produce the very conduits of advertising that sell the identities she disassembles. Her examination of advertising allows for Gutierrez to hybridize the industry\u2019s objectification of sex with the individual\u2019s pursuit of self, satirically undermining the aesthetics of what we see everyday. While she manufactures \u2018celebrity\u2019 to pass as multinational corporations, it is Gutierrez herself who executes every role\u2014simultaneously acting as subject, artist, and muse. Challenging the construction of binaries through the blurring of their borders, Gutierrez insists that gender, like all things, is entangled\u2014and argues against the linear framework of oppositional thinking. These complicated intersections are innate to Gutierrez\u2019s own multicultural upbringing as a first generation artist of indigenous descent and as an LGBTQ ally. Her malleable, ever-evolving self-image catalogs the confluence of seemingly disparate modes, conveying limitless potential for reinvention and reinterpretation. <\/p>\n\n\n
