Madeline Hollander (b. 1986, Los Angeles) is an artist who works with performance, video, and installation to explore how human movement and body language negotiate their limits within everyday systems of technology, intellectual property law, and daily ritual. Her work presents continuously looping events that intervene within spatial, psychological, and temporal landscapes and engage with alternate modes of viewership, replication, and archiving. Hollander earned a BA from Barnard College of Columbia University and an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts. She has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art (2021); the Visual Arts Center, University of Austin, Texas (2021); Bortolami, NY (2020); the Artist’s Institute, NY (2018); Bosse & Baum, UK (2017); and SIGNAL, Brooklyn, NY (2016). Her work has been featured in the Whitney Biennial (2019); the Aldrich Museum, CT (2020); Helsinki Contemporary, Finland (2019); Serpentine Galleries, UK (2018); the Centre Pompidou Metz, France (2019); and the Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover (2017). Upcoming projects include the Performa Biennial 2021 in NYC and ARCH Athens, Greece, 2022.
