About

Why this artist matters now

Monica Bonvicini works across installation, sculpture, video, photography, and drawing to examine the relationship between built space and structures of power, gender, and sexuality. Architecture functions in her practice not as backdrop but as a politically charged material, a position she shares with artists who extended the critical art practices of the 1960s and 1970s into spatial and institutional discourse. Her work has been recognized with the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale and the Preis der Nationalgalerie from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. She was appointed Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 2012.
