Céline Condorelli

Biography

Céline Condorelli is an artist whose practice merges installation, exhibition, politics, fiction, display, public space, sound and writing. She combines a number of different approaches in her work, from developing structures of ‘supporting’ (the work of others, forms of political imaginary, existing and fictional realities) to broader enquiries into forms of commonality and discursive sites.

Her solo exhibitions and long-term projects include Two Years Vacation, FRAC Lorraine, Metz, France (2020); Host/Vært, Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark (2020); Céline Condorelli, Kunsthaus Pasquart, Biel/Bienne, Switzerland (2019); Ausstellungsliege, Albertinum Dresden (2019); Zanzibar, a permanent installation for the Kings Cross Project, London (2018); Another Reality, Eastside Projects, Birmingham (2018) and Corps à Corps, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2017–ongoing). She has also participated in a number of group shows and biennials, such as Every Step in the Right Direction, Singapore Biennial (2019); Sharjah Biennial 13: Tamawuj, Act II, Ashkal Alwan, Beirut (2017); Liverpool Biennial (2016); Making & Unmaking, Camden Arts Centre, London (2016); 20th Biennale of Sydney (2016), How Institutions Think, LUMA Arles, France (2016); and Céline Condorelli, Chisenhale Gallery, London (2014).
