Artist(s):

• Laure Prouvost More
  Laure Prouvost Born 1978 in Croix, Lille (France) Lives and works in Antwerp and London Laure Prouvost (b. 1978) is known for her immersive and mixed-media installations that combine film and installations in humorous and idiosyncratic ways. Prouvost plays with language as a tool for the imagination and is interested in confounding linear narratives and expected associations among words, images and meaning. The artist represented France at the 58th International Art Biennial Venice 2019 and is included in NIRIN, the 22nd Biennale of Sydney (2020). Recent solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Lissabon (2020), M HKA – Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (2019), Palais de Tokyo Paris (2018), High Line Art New York (2017), Pirelli Hangar Bicocca Milan (2016), Kunstverein Hamburg (2016). In 2011, Prouvost won the MaxMara Art prize for Women and was the recipient of the Turner Prize in 2013.
• Marcel Dzama & Raymond Pettibon More
  Marcel Dzama Born 1974 in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) Lives and works in Winnipeg and New York Raymond Pettibon Born 1957 in Tucson, Arizona Lives and works in New York Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon began collaborating in the summer of 2015, creating works by swapping drawings in the "exquisite corpse" method, in which a partner is only given portions of an otherwise concealed drawing to work on. The drawings first appeared in Dzama / Pettibon, a zine published to coincide with Printed Matter's 2015 New York Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1. Produced in an edition of 200, the zine sold out on the first day of the fair. An expanded second edition of the zine was later published for Forgetting the Hand, an exhibition of the artists' collaborative works at David Zwirner in New York. The second edition included 20 additional drawings and a text by poet Andrew Durbin. The collaboration continued as Dzama and Pettibon created works for the exhibition Let us compare mythologies, which was on view at the London gallery later in 2016. In a fourth zine launched at the 2017 edition of Printed Matter's LA Art Book Fair, Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon turn their distinctive artistic collaboration to address recent political events. This 36-page full-color zine includes drawings, collages, comic strips, and protest posters. The result is the artists' personalized version of a political pamphlet filled with vibrant, vocal responses to topical subject matter. Dzama's Instagram account features images of some of the works, posted directly from the studio as he and Pettibon were making them.
• Paula Rego More
  Paula Rego Born 1935 in Lisbon Lives and works in London Paula Rego (b. 1935) is a storyteller often drawing on folk-themes from her native Portugal. Her complex paintings, prints, drawings, and collages are reflecting on suppression, suffering, dysfunctional family relationships, the role of women in society and political systems. Rego has favored pastels over oils for much of her career and she has played a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. Rego studied at the Slade School of Fine Art (London) and was along with David Hockney and Frank Auerbach an exhibition member of the London Group. Her work resides in numerous important public collections, including the British Museum, the National Gallery, The Tate Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Berardo Collection Museum in Lisbon. In 2021 the Tate Britain will hold a major retrospective of Paula Rego’s work.
• Hale Tenger More
  Hale Tenger Born 1960 in Izmir Lives and works in Istanbul Hale Tenger (b. 1960 Izmir) is primarily known for her large-scale installations based on an elaborate combination of unconventional use of materials, audio, and video. Her wide range of production is inspired by diverse historical, political and psychosocial references. State power and violence, oppression and repressed aspects of both society and self are questioned throughout her works. The artist recently participated in the 16th Istanbul Biennial in 2019 and was represented at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017. Tenger had solo exhibitions at Galeri Nev Istanbul (2019), Alserkal Avenue Dubai (2018), Rizzuto Gallery Palermo (2018), Protocinema New York (2015), Smithsonian Institute Washington D.C. (2011). Group exhibitions include Green Art Gallery Dubai (2019), High Line Art New York (2019), Centre Pompidou (2016), Istanbul Modern (2015), Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (2013), Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (2009).
• Pavel Pepperstein More
  Pavel Pepperstein Born 1966 in Moscow Lives and works in Moscow and Crimea Pavel Pepperstein’s (b. 1966) work interlaces history and literature with fantasy themes and fairy tale characters, merging fantastical scenes and landscapes with a range of cultural and political symbols. Pepperstein reflects existential themes with the visual language of children’s books and the medium of mostly watercolor. He is a member of the younger generation of Moscow conceptualists, an avant-garde movement founded in the 1970s with the central figures Ilya Kabakov, Dmitri Prigov and Pepperstein’s father Viktor Pivovarov. Pepperstein had recent solo exhibitions at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2019), Kunsthaus Zug (2017), and Musèe d’Art Moderne et Contemporain Saint-Ètienne Mètropole (2015). He participated in the Manifesta 10, 2014 (St. Petersburg), the Moscow Biennial (2009) and the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009). Pepperstein’s work is part of various collections, including Kunstmuseum Basel, Albertina (Vienna), Centre Pompidou (Paris).
• Viktor Pivovarov More
  Viktor Pivovarov Born 1937 in Moscow Lives and works in Prague Viktor Pivovarov (b. 1937) is one of the leading artists of the Moscow Conceptualist movement of the 1970s. He worked several years as an illustrator, primarily of children’s books, and began working in easel drawing and painting in the 1970s and 80s. Pivovarov works on thematically related cycles and series of pictures, which are often infused with autobiographical and surrealistic elements, dreams, and Dadaist absurdity. In the early 1980s, he emigrated from Russia to Prague, where he lives and works until now. His works are exhibited in numerous exhibitions, including The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow), Kunsthaus Zug, Multimedia Art Museum (Moscow), Ludwig Forum für international Kunst (Aachen).
• Nedko Solakov More
  Nedko Solakov Born 1957 in Tscherwen Brjag (Bulgaria) Lives and works in Sofia Nedko Solakov (b. 1957 Sofia) is a storyteller par excellence. He tells stories with humor and irony and in his narratives, he deals with universal subjects as well as autobiographical elements. As an alert observer of contemporary life, Solakov’s drawings, paintings, and installations call not only the art system into question, but also often global socioeconomical and political conditions as well as collective "truths" and the contradictions of human existence. Rather than adhering to classical compositional rules, his works are framed according to story lines. Nedko Solakov's work was featured in the 48th, 49th, 50th and 52nd Venice Biennial, Manifesta 1, Rotterdam, documenta 12 and 13, Kassel. Selected solo shows include Dvir Gallery, Brussels (2017), Georg Kargl Fine Arts, Vienna (2016), Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg (2015), S.M.A.K. Ghent and Museu de Arte Contemporanea, Serralves (2012), Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2011), Kunstverein Amsterdam and Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt (2010), Castello di Rivoli, Turino and Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (2009), Kunstmuseum Bonn (2008), Kunsthalle Mannheim (2006), Kunsthaus Zurich (2005), OK Centrum Linz and Malmö Konsthall (2004), The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2003), CCA Kitakyushu, Japan, Stichting De Appel, Amsterdam, Museu do Chiado, Lisbon (2002).
