Alexandra Pirici

Biography

Alexandra Pirici is a trained dancer and an artist living and working in Bucharest. Her works belong to the realm of the visual arts, and yet she often presents them in public spaces or theatres. It may be for this reason that her works have been described as continuous performative actions. In 2013, she showed her piece “Globale Exotik” at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, as part of the “Many Years Later …” festival. In the same year, she was invited to show “An Immaterial Retrospective of Venice Biennale,” which she developed in cooperation with Manuel Pelmuş, at the 55th Venice Biennale. Further projects have brought her to internationally acclaimed venues including the Tate Modern in London and Centre Pompidou in Paris. In 2014, after “Delicate Instruments Handled With Care” was shown at Hebbel am Ufer, Pirici performed at MANIFESTA 10 and at the 9th Berlin Biennale. This year, she presents at Skulptur Projekte Münster and has a solo exhibition at nbk Berlin. A gallery version of her HAU co-production “Delicate Instruments of Engagement” premiered at Impulse Festival in 2017.
