Angélica Teuta (Medellín, Colombia 1985) is a nomadic visual artist. Teuta creates site-specific installations that immerse visitors in a fictional ambience. Inspired by 19th century ghost imagery, she uses light projections, low-tech machines, recycled resources and sound. What she is striving for in her art is a perceptual experience that aids visitors in looking at the world we live in nowadays. Utopia, fantasy, childhood memories, dreamlike spaces, zen environments and nature are all themes prevalent in Teuta's work.

In 2015 she completed her M.A in Visual Arts at Columbia University in New York thanks to a Young Talents Scholarship of the Republic Bank of Colombia and Colfuturo Foundation. Her large-scale projects have been exhibited in New York (United States), Oslo (Norway), Toronto (Canada), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Bogotá (Colombia). She has won several prizes and mentions and has had artistic fellowships in the United States, Central and South America, which of late include the AZ-WEST Institute of Investigative Living at Joshua Tree National Park, directed by Andrea Zittel. She recently showed her last solo exhibition “Preservation Methods” at the Museum of Modern Art of Medellín and has been nominated in the PXSTL contest, sponsored by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation and the Washington University in St. Louis.
