Anri Sala constructs transformative, time-based works through multiple relationships between image, architecture and sound, employing these as elements to fold, capsize and question experience. His works investigate ruptures in language, syntax and music, inviting creative dislocations, which generate new interpretations of history, supplanting old fictions and narratives with less explicit, more nuanced dialogues.
His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Centro Botín, Santander (2019); Mudam, Luxembourg (2019); the Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2019); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2017); the New Museum, New York (2016); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2014); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2012); Serpentine Gallery, London (2011); Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (2008); and ARC, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2004).
He has also participated in major group exhibitions and biennials internationally, including the 57th Venice Biennale (2017), documenta 13 (2012), the 29th São Paulo Biennial (2010), the Second Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2007) and the 4th Berlin Biennale (2006). In 2013, he represented France in the 55th Venice Biennale.
