Liv Schulman
Born in 1985, Liv Schulman grew up in Buenos Aires, where she attended public school.
Fascinated by television, the arrival of cable in 1990 and the financial crash of 2001 are among the most significant moments in her life. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy, she has lived in France since 2017. Liv Schulman's work takes the form of filmed fictions, TV series, readings and novels. The discourses at the heart of her practice concern the place of subjectivity in political space and the difficulty of giving it credence. For example, she shows a real telenovela on television as if it were a museum. In her approach, to create means to directly experience a milieu, a system, a subject.
Her work has been exhibited at Villa Vassilieff in Paris, CAC La Galerie in Noisy-le-Sec, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Crac Alsace, Steirischer Herbst Festival in Austria, Fondation Ricard in Paris, SMK in Copenhagen, Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Nebraska. She has benefited from the ADAGP grant, the patronage of the Fondation des Artistes, the DAAD residency program in Germany, and was awarded the Prix Ricard in 2018.
