Carol Bove

Carol Bove (1971, Geneva, Switzerland) studied science at Steinhardt School of Education, New York University, USA, in 2000. She was a resident artist at Yale University Art Gallery in 2010, where she conducted research on the history of architecture at the Yale campus and the effect of changing tastes on the conservation of paintings in the collection of this institution. Between 2009 and 2013 she was associate professor at the art department of the New York University.

Her work, which encompasses a range of disciplines and materials, plays with questions of materiality, reintroducing strategies inscribed in the history of museology, to unite a kind of tangle that interrupts a singular historical narrative.

Among the most relevant solo exhibitions, stand out: The Equinox, The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013); La Traversée difficile, Prix Lafayette 2009, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France (2010); Setting for A. Pomodoro, Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, USA (2006); Carol Bove, Kunsthalle Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland (2004); Momentum 1: Carol Bove (The Future of Ecstasy), Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, EUA (2004) e Carol Bove: The Science of Being and the Art of Living, Kunstverein in Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany (2003).

She has done several public art projects, including for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Campus at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California, USA; City Hall Park, New York; High Line at the Rail Yards, New York; Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park in Laguna Gloria, The Contemporary Art Museum for Austin, USA.

Bove's work is represented in international collections: Colección Jumex, Mexico; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, USA; MoMA - The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, USA, among others.
