GINGER Q: ANTIBODIES ARTIST STATEMENT

“Iconographies we accept as “standard” can be detrimental for individuals who do not fit within the structure. Enter: Antibodies: An experiential installation that counteracts societal homogeneity. The collection focuses on rebutting a heavily imposed trope of uniformity. This is where dynamic forms deplatform the status quo. The exhibit is a series of pieces that represent the urgency of inclusion and embrace the antibody.”

ABOUT GINGER Q

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Ginger Q is a multidisciplinary artist and experiential designer who received her B.F.A. at The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Ginger’s work concentrates on rethinking classics by blending and bending mediums in innovative combinations that defy prescribed compositions.

Growing up in LA, Ginger was constantly exposed to vibrant neon signs. Her interest peaked when her brother opened his signage company where she’d spend a large portion of her upbringing. Working alongside sign makers in the Valley, she delved into the world of signage and noticed she was often the only womxn in the workshop. She decided to create works that visually represent the urgency of equality, specifically in a time where womxn's rights are being questioned and actively threatened.

Ginger is interested in pushing the commercial roots of signage and expanding the boundaries of its material limitations. Her goal is to remove the static aspect of mounted wall neon and construct sculptures that connect various elements, such as plexi, concrete, and metal. Her sculptural interpretations of unconventional forms are seven-dimensional manifestations intended for transcendent souls only.

Ginger Q’s most recent project, “Cabroncita,” recontextualizes a classic 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup, creating a mobile sculpture that challenges established social gender boundaries. The motivation behind this piece was to dismantle misogyny by putting womxn behind the driver’s seat and giving them control to lead the way. *This truck is a bad girl vehicle made to pave the way for womxn disrupting the status-quo. Click through here to see full creative production credits.
