Jennifer Allora (b. 1974, Philadelphia, USA) and Guillermo Calzadilla (b. 1971, Havana, Cuba) have developed an experimental and innovative practice that addresses the entanglements between history, ecology, and geopolitics using a multiplicity of artistic media that includes performance, sculpture, sound, video, photography, and painting. Since the beginning of their collaborative practice in 1995, Allora & Calzadilla have presented solo exhibitions at some of the world’s most important museums including: Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art Porto, Porto (2023); Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (2022); The Menil Collection, Houston (2020); Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2019); Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao (2019); MAXXI, Rome (2018); Dia Art Foundation, New York (2015); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2010); Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli-Turin (2008); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2008); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2008); and Serpentine Gallery, London (2007), among others. In 2011 they represented the United States of America at the 54th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia with the ambitious project Glória—a performative critique of the narratives and symbols that overlap in America’s political, cultural, and economic nationalism. Allora & Calzadilla live and work in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
