Ewa Partum

1945 born in Grodzisk Mazowiecki near Warsaw/Poland.
Lives and works in Berlin/Germany and Poland.

Ewa Partum (*1945) belongs to the first generation of Polish conceptual artists and is considered one of the pioneers of conceptual and feminist art in Europe. In the mid-1960s, she positioned herself with a "critical attitude towards reality, the system, and control" and initially appeared with groundbreaking actions and installations in public space, visual poetry, films, and photographs and performances. Her early work reflects the reality of a country torn between socialist, communist and liberal dynamics. 

Partum is one of the most important representatives of conceptual and feminist art in Poland, presentations of her works among others in Palais de Tokyo, Centre Pompidou as well as her participations in international exhibitions among others 14th Biennale de Lyon, La Triennale 2012 Paris, 18th Biennale of Sydney as well as Manifesta 7 among others. Her works are in numerous international collections such as Tate Modern, MoMA New York, Museo Reina Sofia Madrid, Generali Foundation, National Gallery Berlin.
