We hope that we can work next year with the Tunisian-German artist Nadia Kaabi-Linke.
Many works of Nadia Kaabi–Linke engage with surfaces. She comprehends a surface not as something flat and shallow, more like a profound and deep space. Thereby she works with different methods and materials, through which she tries to show the physical shape that usually operates in secrecy. With regards to the content of her works, structures, geopolitical issues and humans are found in most of her works.

“The comment point of my work is the idea of layering, meaning history. I always try to understand the now through the past. In general, my work has a strong link through migration and question of immigration because it tells the story of my life.” YouTube, Nadia Kaabi–Linke Guggenheim UBS Map
