Gili Tal

Gili Tal (b.1983) is a conceptual artist whose practice revolves around the banal aspects of the late urban environment. By employing the cosmopolitan landscape as both her method and tool, she takes authority of the surroundings while examining the city’s capacity to allow her, the neo-liberated individual, to roam free.

habitat extends an invitation to Tal based off her ongoing research on how capital structures shape human perception and interaction inside cities.

Gili Tal lives in London, UK. Recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Buchholz, New York; Jenny’s New York; Francesca Pia, Zürich; Cabinet, London; Gallery Celine, Glasgow; and Jenny’s, Los Angeles. Her work has been presented in several institutional exhibitions including “Retail Apocalypse” at CCA Montreal (2022), “Stop Painting” curated by Peter Fischli at the Prada Foundation, Venice (2021), “The Cascades” at Kunstverein Braunschweig (solo, 2020), “Not Working. Artistic production and matters of class” at Kunstverein München (2020), “Mastering the Nikon D750” at gta Exhibitions, ETH Zürich (solo, 2019), “Theft is Vision” at LUMA Westbau, Zürich (2018), and “Readymades Belong to Everyone” at the Swiss Institute, New York (2018).
