Judy Radul
Judy Radul’s (1962, CA) interdisciplinary practice revolves around the question of how we as social beings understand our relation to the material world through the visual. Her conceptualist and absurdist sensibility treats the white cube as a staging ground in which her work stands at the intersection of language, objects and bodies in space. The spacialized experience recreates “live” experiences which acutely express the discomfort with people and objects in the original space, and confronts the tension between the lived experience and the representation of it. Her work explores these contradictions, working across media and technologies as well as critical texts.
Recent solo exhibitions include Judy Radul: Closeup, The Breakdown, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Kingston (2015); This is Television, Daadgalerie, Berlin (2013); World Rehearsal Court, Henie Onstad Art Centre, Høvikodden (2011). Recent group exhibitions include Home Work, Open Forum, Berlin (2015); People Things Enter Exit, Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver (2011); All That is Solid Melts into Air, MuHKA, Antwerp (2009). She recently took part in the 8th Berlin Biennale (2014) and the Nicaragua Biennale X (2016). In 2017 she takes part in Contour Biennale 8, Mechelen.
