Angel Lartigue

Angel Lartigue is an international artistic researcher born and raised in Houston Texas. Lartigue's work explores the relationship between the body and land through the use of "putrefaction" matter as raw material. This concentration has led them to experimenting with processes of decomposition into artworks, incorporating fungi, insects, and even odors captured during fieldwork, including research training in human remains recovery at Texas’ “body farms” in 2018. Designer of 2017 label book, "La ciencia avanza pero yo no" is part of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston’s Hirsch Library rare books collection. In 2020 Lartigue was accepted as honorary research fellow to artistic laboratory, SymbioticA, part of the University of Western Australia Perth and is a participant at the international conference Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art & Science 2020 part of the University of Applied Arts Vienna Austria.
