Carol Bove
(American, born 1971)
Biography
Carol Bove is a contemporary American conceptual artist. Working in a multimedia practice, she creates installations of archival objects gathered from personal experience, literature, art history, and nature. Bove describes herself as an anthropologist carefully categorizing intellectual works and popular culture that have had a lasting effect on contemporary life, including texts such as The Feminine Mystique and Playboy magazine. The unexpected layering of these juxtapositions creates poetic and subtle new relationships between otherwise familiar objects. Born in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, Bove grew up in Berkeley, CA before earning a degree from New York University in 2000. Her relational works regularly employ connections to trends and movements in the cultural and societal spheres, connecting aesthetic form and content with broader statistical and relationships. “I'm interested in making room for other people in my work,” she has said. Bove's work has been met with widespread critical acclaim, exhibited at institutions like The Museum of Modern Art, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Kunsthalle Zürich, and the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston. The artist currently lives and works in New York, NY, where she has exhibited with Maccarone and David Zwirner galleries.
