About Priscilla Monge

Priscilla Monge’s multimedia pieces and installations explore love, aggression and the complexities of power. She provokes using a wide variety of visual languages (photography, film, object, and sculpture) and as a hallmark, her art often plays with the language itself. Monge is one of the most accomplished artists of contemporary Costa Rica. Part of the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Seville and Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei, among others, Monge’s recognition extends well beyond her native country. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, Spain, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica.

ABOUT THIS PIECE
In 1998 I made a series called "Pensum". And still working with the idea of the chalkboard associated with education and therefore with punishment. Of education as a haunted place just like art or literature but in a more rigid way, with a linear language likely different from that of language, art or dreams.
The punishments I wrote on the board were far from innocent school punishments, they dealt with women cliches, with child abuse, and of course some of them had a load of humor like: 'I should not sleep with art critics'. I believe you have to had humor when you are deadly serious."
