Installations by Pamen Pereira Pamen Pereira is a contemporary and multidisciplinary artist born in Ferrol, Spain in 1963.  Her interdisciplinary work moves around sculpture, installation and sometimes photography or video, or just anything unrelated that is useful for specifying the creative act. Without leaving the solitude of the workshop as a place of reflection and study where she meets the most intimate, her current work focuses on site-specific installations and interventions, which defends the important function of the poetic image for society and, this way, art’s social character.  On facebook View similar posts  | selected by Margaret   via crss
