Deborah-Joyce Holman (b. 1991, Basel, Switzerland) is concerned with the relationship between popular visual cultures and capital, and the intertwined politics of representation. Holman contrasts the exploitative potential of how images collide with capital with approaches of artistic and cinematic subversion, repetition and refusal using differing approaches across media such as video, sculpture, and painting. Solo exhibitions of Holman’s work have been held at: Galerie Gregor Staiger, Zurich (2023); Cordova, Barcelona (2022); Istituto Svizzero, Palermo (2022); Schwarzescafé, Luma Westbau, Zurich (2022). Other presentation of their work include: Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2022); Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris (2022); The Shed, New York City (2021); House of Electronic Arts, Basel (2021); 7th Athens Biennale, Athens (2021); Cherish, Geneva (solo with Yara Dulac Gisler, 2021); Yaby, Madrid (2021); Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva (2021); La Quadriennale di Roma, Rome (2020); Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, Paris (2019); Oslo 10, Basel (2017), among others. From 2020-2022, Holman worked as Associate Director at Auto Italia, London. They were the founding director of 1.1, a platform for emerging artists in arts, music, and text-based practices, with an exhibition space in Basel, Switzerland, which ran 2015-2020. They curated the 2018 and 2019 annual group exhibitions for the arts and music festival Les Urbaines, Lausanne, presenting newly commissioned works by more than 15 international artists.
