Mona Hatoum

(British/Palestinian, born 1952)

Mona Hatoum is a contemporary Palestinian-British installation and video artist. She is known for the use of found, household objects in her work, imbued with personal history and significance. Hatoum’s work frequently addresses politics and issues regarding gender and the body. She was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1952 to Palestinian parents and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where she was forced to flee after war broke out in her home country. Hatoum’s first major work was Measures of Distance (1988), a 15-minute long video depicting her mother showering while Hatoum read from her letters, exploring the artist’s complicated relationship with war-torn Palestine and her adopted home of Lebanon. In her later works, she moved from video to installation work, including Light Sentence (1992) a sculpture of metal grids symbolizing imprisonment, which was shown at her first solo exhibition at the Chapter Gallery in Cardiff. Hatoum was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1995, and she has since held solo exhibitions at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and the Tate Modern in London. Her work is collected in the Tate Gallery in London, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the Kunsthaus in Zürich, among others.
