Nina Beier’s internationally acknowledged artistic practice has been presented in a range of environments from museum to public realm. Her work is marked by a considered use of found objects, commodities, social habits and routines, which she deftly manipulates and recontextualises within her sculptures and performances to examine global power dynamics, value, and representation.

This fully illustrated volume will provide readers with an in-depth understanding of Beier’s multifaceted career through the sampling of existing writing by key collaborators, and newly commissioned texts which further contextualise the central concerns and motivations in Beier’s wider practice, exhibition history, and selection of materials.

With extensive survey exhibitions culminating in 2024 – CAPC musee d’art contemporain, Bordeaux; KIASMA Museum, Helsinki; and Museo Tamayo, Mexico City – now is an evident time to publish a survey of Nina Beier’s work, the first elaborate monograph to date.
