Constanza Alarcón Tennen (b. Santiago, 1986) is an artist from Chile working at the intersection of sound, sculpture, video, and performance. She is interested in transmaterial dialogues as ways of inhabiting an in-between space of materials and objects. In recent years, she has focused her practice in an integrated view on fiction and the possibilities of eroticism, and haptics, as lenses through which to see the world of both human and non-human entities.

She graduated from a BFA at Universidad Católica de Chile and the MFA in Sculpture at Yale University in 2015. Her work has been shown internationally at venues such as PS122 (NY), Patricia Ready Gallery (Santiago), The XIII New Media Biennial (Chile), Künstlerforum Bonn (Bonn), Atelierhaus Salzamt (Linz), the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan, among others. She has participated in residencies such as The Vermont Studio Center (VT), Delfina Foundation (London), and B.A.S.E Tsonami (Valparaíso). 

She not-so-recently published her first poetry compilation as an artist's book with Otra Sinceridad independent press. 

Besides her artistic practice, Constanza is a teacher and lives between Santiago and Boston.
