Nina Canell (*1979) frequently collaborates with Robin Watkins (*1980). The transfer and distribution of energy has been an integral preoccupation of their work since the beginning, often working with situations that are highly sensitive to spatio-temporal variables. Grounded as much in the chance encounter as in close study, their sculptural process foregrounds material agency.
Their work has been shown in solo museum exhibitions in Mexico, Switzerland, Belgium, South Korea, Ireland, Austria, the US, Sweden, France, Germany and England. They have taken part in the Venice, Cuenca, Sydney, Manifesta, Lyon and Liverpool biennials as well as group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Witte de With, Rotterdam; the ICA, London; Secession, Vienna; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; Guggenheim, Bilbao, among other places.
