Monica Bonvicini (b. 1965, Venice; lives and works in Berlin) explores how existing gender relations and social orders are reflected in the aesthetics and architecture of public and private spaces. Her immersive and often provocative works focus on these power structures. Bonvicini's internationally acclaimed art has garnered numerous awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale (1999), the National Gallery Prize for Young Art in Berlin (2005), and the Oskar-Kokoschka-Preis (2020). Her work blends a language inspired by commercial objects with a cool, minimalist elegance. In 2022/23, the Neue Nationalgalerie will host a solo exhibition featuring a significant architectural intervention by the artist in Mies van der Rohe's iconic glass hall, embodying a feminist act of appropriation. Through playful irony and a rich tapestry of historical, political, and social references, Bonvicini creates a new experience of the building. The exhibition publication includes installation views, illustrations of her works, an introduction by curators Irina Hiebert Grun and Joachim Jäger, and essays by David Adjaye, Diedrich Diederichsen, and Dario Gamboni.
