Kader Attia (born 30 December 1970) is an Algerian-French artist.

Early life

Attia was born in Dugny, France to Algerian parents and was raised in Paris and Algeria. He studied at the l'école Duperré de Paris, l'école des arts appliqués La Massana de Barcelone and graduated from the Ecole nationale superieure des arts decoratifs Paris, in 1998.

Work

Attia's work often examines social injustice, marginalized communities and postcolonialism.

In 2016, Attia founded La Colonie, a gallery near Paris' Gare du Nord train station. In March 2020, La Colonie closed permanently due to the coronavirus pandemic. In March 2021, Attia was announced as the curator for the 12th Berlin Biennale. He is the first artist to curate the biennale since New-York based collective DIS, who presented the 9th edition in 2016. In November 2021, he had an exhibition entitled "On Silence" at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha.

Notes

  1. "This multicultural background is something that belongs to my work and to my history. I feel myself as both French and Algerian. I’m definitely in between."
