Carlota Eugenia Rosenfeld Villarreal (20 June 1943

Santiago, Chile. She was born in Santiago, Chile, and was active during the late 1970s during the time of the Chilean military coup d'état. She carried out public art interventions in urban areas, often manipulating traffic signs in order to challenge viewers to rethink notions of public space and political agency. Her work has been exhibited in several countries throughout Latin America, and Internationally in places such as Europe, Japan, and Australia.[3]

Art movement and involvement in art

Rosenfeld's involvement in art happened during the Chilean military coup d'état period. Under this regime, she utilized her artwork to demonstrate how official power and conflict zones submit bodies to the margins and borders.[4] She wanted to be separate from the guarded spaces of art and its market therefore she used the streets to perform her work, ultimately interrogating political and cultural spaces.[4] With her art, she hoped that she could change the mentality of people by altering history of her country.[3] The initial medium in which she worked was video recording.[5] She then associated herself with Neo-vanguardism and the Escena de Avanzada, a movement of artists and writers that appeared on the Chilean art scene after the 1973 Chilean coup d'état. In 1979, along with poet Raúl Zurita, sociologist Fernando Balcells, writer/artist Diamela Eltit, and artist Juan Castillo, she formed, CADA (Colectivo de Acciones de Arte) or (Art Actions Collective).[6]
