Born in Jerusalem, Palestine in 1977, Shadi Habib Allah received a BFA from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in 2003 and an MFA from Columbia University in 2010. He was twice awarded Second Prize in the Young Artist Award from the A.M. Qattan Foundation, and has attended residencies at Cittadelarte, Fondazione Pistoletto in Biella, Italy and Gasworks in London, England. He was nominated for the Luma Award (2011), and was also the 2012 recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award. He held his first solo exhibition in New York at Reena Spaulings in 2010.
Shadi Habib Allah’s practice traverses installation, video and sculpture, in order to examine the structural and material circulations of objects, people, histories and the economy. While each project defines its own terms and necessary means of engagement, a common thread is the reworking of existing structures and the making of images in ways that eventually erase or replace the original. Eventually, it becomes unclear what is original and what is the copy. Faintly humourous anecdotes function as a pretext for more complex topics and critical positions. His practice never centres on the object or the artifact itself. Rather, it concerns itself with the reconstruction or subversion of existing objects and in this way questions received ideas of use and value, and the structures that hold them in place.
Habib Allah’s work has been exhibited at the New Museum Triennial (2015); Art Statements, Art Basel 43 (2012); Palestine c/o Venice, Venice Biennale (2009); the Riwaq Biennale, Ramallah (2009); and In Focus, Tate Modern, London (2007), amongst others. Recent exhibitions include Shadi Habib Allah: 30KG Shine, Rodeo, London (2015) The Verdant, Hacienda, Zurich (2015); Asparagus Pimp at Reena Spaulings Fine Art, New York (2014); Artists Space on Randall Island, Frieze Art Fair, New York (2014); Empire State curated by Norman Rosenthal & Alex Gartenfeld, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome (2013) & Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris (2013); Frozen Lakes, Artists Space, New York (2013); and Nouvelles Vagues, curated by Jason Waite and Antonia Alampi, Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2013). He lives and works in New York.
