About The Artist
Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster is a seminal figure in international contemporary art. Beginning her work primarily in film, in recent years her versatile, multidisciplinary work has seen Foerster collaborating on everything from writing a science fiction novel with fellow artist Philippe Parreno to working with rock singer Alain Bashung on set design and collaborating with fashion house Balenciaga on a Paris exhibition. Still relatively new to the United States, Foerster is widely acclaimed in Europe. In her native France, she won the Marcel Duchamp prize in 2002, and in London in 2008, she created a site-specific installation for the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall.
