Description
Born in 1977 in Romania, Mircea Cantor is an internationally renowned artist working with multiple media such as video, photography, and installation. In 2004, Cantor won the Prix Fondation d’entreprise Ricard, followed by the important Prix Marcel Duchamp, in 2011. His works employ a deep symbolism and sense of irony, often entrenched in Romanian politics and culture. Developing webs of references that evoke concepts such as ideology, belonging, and cultural displacement, Cantor operates with a careful empathy towards the subjects portrayed.
In the installation series Anthroposynaptic (2015), initially displayed at Art Basel, Romanian traditional blouses, tied together by ropes that were embroidered on top, invoke practices of memory and recollection of past and present generations’ common histories.
Mircea Cantor’s works have been exhibited, amongst others, at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa), New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; Museum Abteierg, Mönchengladbach, Germany.
