Amalia Ulman
Amalia Ulman (b. 1989) is an artist with an office in downtown L.A. Born in Argentina but raised in Spain, she studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London. Her works, which are primarily voiced in the first person, blur the distinction between the artist and object of study, often creating humorous, gentle deceptions, while exploring class imitation and the relationship between consumerism and identity. In addition to video, sculpture and installation work, her multidisciplinary practice has involved the use of social media, magazine photoshoots, interviews, self-promotion and brand endorsements as tools for the fabrication of fictional narratives. Her most recent works are the video essay Annals of Private History (Frieze Live, 2015), Privilege (online performance, 2015-2017) Buyer Walker Rover, Aka. Then There (2019) and Sordid Scandal (2020).
