Join Allison Katz, winner of the 2023 Gershon Iskowitz Prize, in conversation with Debbie Johnsen, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art. This talk coincides with the opening of Allison Katz: Inner Momentum, on view on level 4.

Allison Katz was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1980 and currently lives and works in London, England. She studied Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal and received her MFA from Columbia University in New York. Katz’s work investigates the ways in which aesthetic practices link and absorb autobiography, information systems, graphic icons and art history. Her diverse imagery, including roosters, cabbages, mouths, fairies and noses, appears as recurring signs that build a constellation of ideas and references, which transmute across the mediums of painting, posters, ceramics, and installations.
