Don't miss a sec. The art of Monica Bonvicini investigates the relationships between space, gender and power. Utilising different media, including drawing, collage, video and sculpture, her individual artworks are also steps in the process toward creating large-scale installations. The most interesting formal aspect of Bonvicini's work is her expressive formal exploration of environmental sculpture.

Monica Bonvicini, born in 1965 in Venice, lives and works in Berlin.
The art of Monica Bonvicini investigates the relationships between space, gender and power. Utilising different media, including drawing, collage, video and sculpture, her individual artworks are also steps in the process toward creating large-scale installations. The most interesting formal aspect of Bonvicini's work is her expressive formal exploration of environmental sculpture. Her critique of minimalism focuses on the incorporation of its forms in the bourgeois aesthetic of everyday structures. Through a reflection on gender issues, often reinforced by biting humour, her work addresses the problem of "building", both architectural and social.
Her work has been shown at prestigious institutions including the SITE Santa Fe Biennial; XLVIII Venice Biennial, Venice (1999); Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg (2000); Magasin, Grenoble (2001); Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Shanghai Biennial, Shanghai Art Museum; Kunstmuseum Aahrus (2002); New Museum, New York Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; Tramway Glasgow; 8th Istanbul Biennial; Secession,Wien (with Sam Durant),(2003)
