Katja Novitskova (born 1984 in Tallinn, Estonia) lives and works in Amsterdam. Novitskova’s work focuses on the mapping of biological territories that are no longer outside but rather ‘inside’ biological bodies. The images that depict nature become models for future approximations of life and translations into more synthetic forms. She was artist in residence at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam from 2013 to 2014. Her work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions including Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin (2025); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2024); 15th Gwangju Biennale (2024); Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen (2023, solo); Fries Museum, Leeuwarden (2023, solo); Stavanger Art Museum, Norway (2023); Marta Herford Museum, Herford (2022); MUDAM Luxembourg (2021); Belgrade Biennal (2021), Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich (2020); Sharjah Art Foundation (2020); Powerlong Museum, Shanghai (2019); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2019); the 14th Fellbach Trienniale (2019); Marta Herford Museum, Herford (2018); the Estonian Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017, solo).
