Rivane Neuenschwander

Rivane Neuenschwander is a Brazilian artist known for her conceptual art practice that explores language, communication, and social interactions. She was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1967, and today she lives and works in São Paulo.

Neuenschwander's work often involves the use of everyday materials such as soap, rice, and insects, and she frequently incorporates audience participation into her installations. Her work is inspired by the Fluxus movement and the concept of chance operations, and she often uses language and games to explore the limits of communication.

Neuenschwander's work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Venice Biennale. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards and residencies, including the DAAD Artist-in-Residence Program in Berlin and the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. Today, Neuenschwander continues to create engaging and thought-provoking work that challenges our understanding of language and social interaction.
