She was the SAM Prize for contemporary art laureate in 2012 and for the Coal Art et Environnement Prize in 2016. She had solo exhibitions dedicated to her at Palais de Tokyo in 2014, at Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris, in 2018 and at Vassivière’s Centre international d’art et de paysage in 2020.

Work
Angelika Markul does videos, installations, and sculptures. Her work unfolds around art and science, fiction and memory and questions our relation with nature, universe, time. She explores wild and ancestral territories and vanished civilisations’ history but also takes a more political look at places where disasters happened (Fukushima, Tchernobyl…).
For ColAAb, Angelika Markul who is passionate about design, created a coffee table et two light fixtures, pieces of furniture very minimalist and poetic which echo her latest works.
