Nalini Malani — À propos — Slash Paris

Born in 1946 in Karachi, Nalini Malani lives and works in Mumbai and in Amsterdam. In 2007, she was chosen by Robert Storr for the 52nd Venice Biennale. That same summer, the IMMA in Dublin dedicated a retrospective and a catalogue to the artist. Her work has also been exhibited at the Kiran Nadar Foundation in New Delhi and at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (2017). Two major retrospectives were organized in 2018 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Castello di Rivoli near Turin. MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum, the Tate Gallery and the MNAM-Centre Pompidou have recently acquired key works by Nalini Malani. Winner of the Joan Miró prize in 2019, she had an exhibition at Fundación Miró in Barcelona the following year, then in Hong Kong at the newly opened M+ Museum in 2021-2022. In 2022 Nalini Malani was awarded a fellowship at the National Gallery in London which ultimately led to an exhibition entitled “My Reality is Different”. In 2023 she received the Kyoto prize, an outstanding distinction often referred to as the equivalent of Nobel prize in Asia.
