Her writing has received awards including a ‘5 under 35’ honorarium (National Book Awards, USA) and a Somerset Maugham Award (Society of Authors, UK). She contributes to publications including The Guardian, Granta, The Times Literary Supplement, The London Review of Books, frieze, and art-agenda. She lives in North Yorkshire.
RC & TVB
From genetically engineering sterile goldfish to choreographing a factory assembly line, Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen’s work is performed within particular networks. These networks – whether they connect raw materials, mythic conditions, animal genetics, constructions of uncertainty, or colonial inheritances – offer a point of departure for the artists, from which they explore friction, entanglement, porousness, reflection, and self-implication. Recent exhibitions took place at Ghost 2565 Bangkok; Serpentine Galleries (London); the 13th Shanghai Biennale; Walker Art Center (Minneapolis); Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Renaissance Society (Chicago); Para Site (Hong Kong); HKW (Berlin); and Congo International Film Festival (Goma). It is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Mu.ZEE, Ostend; and M+, Hong Kong. Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen live and work in London.
The event is free and open to all. It will take place 5-7pm in the Richard Hoggart Building, room 312.
