Tarik Kiswanson

Tarik Kiswanson's work encompasses sculpture, writing, performance, drawing, sound, and video works. Notions of rootlessness, regeneration, and renewal are central themes in his oeuvre. Always operating at the intersection of different cultural contexts, his various abstract works examine subjects related to memory, heritage, birth, loss and belonging. His oeuvre can be understood as a cosmology of related conceptual families, each exploring variations on themes like refraction, multiplication, disintegration, levitation, hybridity, and polyphony through their own distinct language.    

Tarik Kiswanson (b. 1986, Sweden) lives and works in Paris. His recent exhibitions include Salzburger Kunstverein (2023), Bonniers Konsthall (2023), Museo Tamayo (2023), M HKA-Museum of contemporary art Antwerp (2022), Hallands Konstmuseum (2022), 16th Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art (2022), Carré d’Art-Musée d’art contemporain (2021), The Ural Biennial (2019), Performa 19 Biennial (2019), Centre Pompidou (2018), 12th Gwangju Biennial (2018), MUDAM-Museum of Contemporary Art Luxembourg (2017). He is nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp and will show a new body of works at Centre Pompidou in October 2023.
