Since studying at Yale University, where she explored the relationship between cinema, art, literature and music, and then UCLA, where she received her M.F.A., Daria Martin, an American artist based in London, has begun to make films. Borrowing from a universe of everyday popular references (sport, games, shows, etc.), she combines elements from avant-garde dance and cinema with a formidable formal elegance. She evades the trap of being seduced by the forms, movements and abstract themes that she uses, instead relying on Jacques RanciAre's insistence that political work reveal a "distribution of sensitivity in the social sphere." Martin has exhibited at Hotel, London, and Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York.Martin, Daria is the author of 'Daria Martin' with ISBN 9783905701548 and ISBN 3905701545.
