Glendalys Medina

Glendalys Medina (b. 1977, Puerto Rico) is a New York-based artist whose practice spans drawing, installation, performance and printed matter. Her work engages with systems of knowledge, spiritual practice, language and the body, often drawing on Afro-Caribbean traditions, astrology and the visual culture of self-help and esoteric publishing. She has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally.

The objects gathered here are printed ephemera relating to Medina’s exhibition history: catalogues, invitation cards and printed matter issued for presentations of her work. Each piece records a specific institutional moment and the printed form through which her practice entered public circulation.
