Olga Balema

Galerie Fons Welters

18 February – 25 March, 2023

Olga Balema (Ukraine, 1984) is an artist who currently lives in New York. She makes sculptures. One of the major concerns of her work is form, another material. Another is paying attention to where and how things go into a space. Sometimes the work can be called site respondent, other times it responds only to itself. Her work has been exhibited at Camden Art Center, London, UK; Swiss Institute, New York, US; CAPC, Bordeaux, FR; Whitney Museum for American Art, New York, US; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, CH. Balema’s work is in the collections of among others the Whitney Museum, New York; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; Centre National des Arts Plasticique, FR and Fondation d'Enterprise Galeries Lafayette, FR.
