CV Solo Exhibitions Group Exhibitions Collections Awards/Grants Mentor/Jury Talks Publications

Nadia Kaabi-Linke is a multimedia conceptual artist based in Berlin. After graduating with an MA from the Tunis School of Fine Arts, she received a PhD from the Pantheon Sorbonne in Paris. Growing up between Tunis, Kyiv, and Dubai, her personal history developed through the migration across cultures and borders that greatly influenced her artistic practice. Her work gives physical presence to that which tends to remain invisible in contemporary societies, be it people, structures, or the geopolitical forces that shape them. In a visually powerful way, she straddles beauty and violence, refinement and brutality, as well as the sublime and the vulgar, engaging the viewer in the play of conflicting forces of fear and attraction, repulsion and desire.

 

Her artworks were shown and are part of worldwide renowned collections, among which are the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the M+ Museum in Hong Kong, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Sharjah Art Foundation in UAE, Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie Berlin, and Kunstmuseum Bonn in Germany, the Dallas Museum in Texas, FRAC Pays de Loire, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Lyon, France. She had institutional solo exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie für Gegenwart, Berlin, National Art Museum Ukraine, Kyiv, Darat Al Funun in Amman, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Dallas Contemporary, Mosaic Rooms in London, and Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon. Her works featured in international group shows and biennials such as the Lyon Biennale, Bruges Triennial, Liverpool Biennale, Sharjah Biennale, Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum in New York, Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin, the Martha Herford Museum, Louisiana Museum, Denmark, Nam June Paik Art Center, Seoul, National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, KW Institute and House of World Culture (HKW) in Berlin. She got awarded the Ithra Art Prize, the Francois Schneider Art Prize, the Art Basel Discovery Prize, and the Abraaj Group Art Prize, among others.
