Theresa Lang Center at The New School

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster was born in Strasbourg, France in 1965. She is known for creating installation/environmental works that incorporate varying degrees of interactivity, as well as for making films. Portraying and replicating hybrid spaces inspired by her travels through Asia and Latin America, Gonzalez-Foerster has developed her own approach to re-creating and redefining space and structures. Using narrative devices borrowed from film and literature, and incorporating sound, music, and light, her work embraces various forms of sensorial perception. Gonzalez-Foerster's gaze on our cultural legacies and our current landscapes remains complex. It combines the critical, the poetic, and the romantic while engaging the viewer's body with a certain immediacy. Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster has exhibited at Documenta 11, Kassel (2002), the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (ARC) (2007), the Guggenheim Museum (2008/09), and the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, London (2008/9). She lives and works in Paris and Rio de Janeiro.
