Angela Bulloch’s work spans many media and manifests her interest in systems, patterns, and rules, as well as her preoccupation with the history of forms and human interaction. The Pixel Boxes have become her best-known work: originally made of beech wood with a glass front, their gently changing and pulsating colors distill and abstract complex visual patterns into simple, changing monochromes. Her series of Night Sky works, begun in 2008 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, shows existing constellations from a perspective other than that of Earth, simulated with a 3D star mapping program.
Her latest series of sculptures combines her interest in the logic of geometry and seriality with a graphic quality. The appearance of the sculpture changes depending on the viewing angle: from one side, irregularity dominates, while from another side, the impression of a certain totemic regularity prevails.
The Berlin-based artist (*1966) studied at Goldsmiths College in London from 1985 to 1988. She is a founding member of BPA (Berlin Program for Artists).
Bulloch has been exhibiting internationally since the late 1980s and is represented in important collections worldwide. She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 and the National Gallery Prize in 2005. Her works have been presented in numerous international solo exhibitions, including Musée d’Arts de Nantes (2022); Serralves Museum, Porto (2019); MAAT, Lisbon (2019–20); Sharjah Art Museum (2016); Witte de With, Rotterdam (2012); Städtische Galerie, Wolfsburg (2011); Berlinische Galerie (2011); Städtische Galerie im Lehnbachhaus, Munich (2008).
Since 2018, Angela Bulloch has been Professor of Time-Based Media at the HFBK Hamburg.
