Lina Rica

Lina Rica (*1980, Makarska, Croatia) is an intermedia artist working in the field of conceptual, experimental and new media art. She creates installations using video, prints, light, photography and animation. In her work, she addresses the social processes of past and present worlds and their influences on the contemporary individual. For the last six years, her works have been evolving around the concept of time and our perception and use of time in the information age. She got her master’s degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2008 with the award for the best graduate thesis in the printmaking department. Her works have been showcased and published internationally and her prints are part of the collection of the International Centre of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana; Oficina Arara in Porto; Longest Night in Gothenburg; Riko Art Collection in Slovenia; Critical Mass Portfolio and Femicomix Portfolio. In 2012 she launched an artist-run project GaleRica and organised exhibitions in a gallery in her home in Makarska until 2016. Since 2010 Lina has performed at different venues combining real-time generated animations with captured and live video. Together with other artists, she formed an audio-visual acoustic and electronic noise ensemble Marta Fakuch in 2019. Since 2020 she is part of an audio-visual trio Etceteral. She lives in Ljubljana.
