PROGRAMME
Anri Sala is a contemporary artist based in Berlin who came to prominence for video works and installations that drew from personal experience to reflect on social and political changes taking place in his native Albania. In recent years, Sala has attached a growing importance to sound, in particular exploring sound’s relationship to image, and linked to this development is Sala’s long-standing interest in performance and music. In 2013, he was selected to represent France at the 55th Venice Biennial with "Ravel Ravel Unravel" and, most recently, Sala was the recipient of the Vincent Award, Den Haag (The Netherlands, 2014). Other awards include: the Prix Gilles Dusein in 2000, the Young Artist Prize at the Venice Biennale in 2001 and the Absolut Art Award (Stockholm, Sweden) in 2011.
Recent solo exhibitions include "The Present Moment (in D)", Haus der Kunst (Munich, Germany, 2014); "Anri Sala: Two Films", Museum of Contemporary Art, (Detroit, MI, 2012), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebaek, Denmark, 2012); Centre Pompidou (Paris, France, 2012); "1395 Days Without Red", Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin, Ireland, 2012); National Museum of Art (Osaka, Japan, 2011) Serpentine Gallery (London, England, 2011) and Musée d'Art Contemporain de Montréal (Quebec, 2011).
