This lecture is presented as part of the fall 2021 Visiting Artist Lecture Series, free and open to all. Registration is required.

Dora Budor (b. 1984, Croatia) is a New York based artist and writer. Her main medium is the exhibition, wherein the characteristics of the given context are amplified, dislodged, or re-circuited. Through this set of actions, an interdependency of meaning between the work and its host is constructed. Image as a conduit of memory and meaning is produced through the cinematic as it has come to be known not technically, but phenomenologically.

Her recent and forthcoming solo exhibitions include Kunsthaus Bregenz (2022), GAMeC Bergamo (2022), Progetto (2021), Kunsthalle Basel (2019), 80WSE (2018), and Swiss Institute (2015). Her work has been presented in group exhibitions including Whitney Museum of American Art, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Museum Fridericianum, Palais de Tokyo, Migros Museum, Schinkel Pavillon, Swiss Institute, Kunsthalle Biel, Kunstmuseum Winterthur, La Panacee Montpellier, Halle für Kunst und Medien Graz, Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, MOCA Belgrade, K11 Art Museum and others. She participated in the 9th Berlin Biennial, Vienna Biennale, Art Encounters 2017, 13th Baltic Triennial, 16th Istanbul Biennial, 2nd Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art, Geneva Sculpture Biennale 2020 and 58th October Salon | Belgrade Biennale 2021.

Budor was a recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation’s Emerging Artist Prize in 2014 and Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant in 2018. In 2019, she was awarded Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts.
