Judi Werthein was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She received an MA in Architecture and Urbanism from the Universidad de Buenos Aires. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Werthein is an artist who works across a range of media. She addresses strategies of domination. Conflating the dominant form with that which it subordinates, her work destabilizes the authority that is often taken as a given. Interpreting identities as flexible, plastic, and untranslatable, Werthein conveys the experience of the outsider through the language of mass culture, reconceiving western conventions from an unfamiliar perspective. Her work has been shown at the Tate Modern, De Appel, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art and The Bronx Museum for the Arts. Manifesta 7, InSite_05, and the 7th Bienal de La Habana.
