Marta Minujín

b. 1943, Buenos Aires, Argentina · Argentine

Marta Minujín emerged in the 1960s with participatory environments, happenings and media experiments that embraced spectacle, mass culture and destruction. From La Menesunda to the Parthenon of Books, her work creates temporary public situations where audiences move through sensory overload, banned literature or monumental replicas built from everyday materials.
