In Conversation: Monica Bonvicini

In the organizer's words:

Monica Bonvicini's multi-layered practice encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing and video. Her works examine the relationships between architecture, space and control. In doing so, she reflects on the conditions of classical art production as well as existing power structures and gender dynamics. Her work often makes direct reference to the exhibition space and involves the viewers as active participants.

Bonvicini has been Professor of Sculpture at the Berlin University of the Arts since 2017. Her works are part of numerous public collections, including the Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, where she realized the solo exhibition "NEVER AGAIN" as part of the Nationalgalerie Prize for Young Art in 2005.

Bonvicini's works are shown internationally. Major solo exhibitions have taken place at the Kunst Museum Winterthur, the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin (both 2022), Belvedere 21, Vienna (2019), the Berlinische Galerie (2017), the Art Institute of Chicago (2009) and the Palais de Tokyo (2002), among others. She has also been represented several times at international biennials, including the Biennale di Venezia, where she received the Golden Lion for Sculpture in 1999.
