Orlee Malka
Bio: Orlee Malka (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist living in New York. Her conceptual and collaborative work considers the possibilities of art making within forms of collapse. In fieldwork to the unconsoled (2018) Malka examines issues of excavation practices and museum restitution. This ongoing project consists of objects, replicas, readings and experiments that are informed by practices of remembering and witnessing.
Recent and forthcoming projects include: Now That We Have Established A Common Ground, Protocinema and The Clemente, New York (2022); Legacy Trilogy: Future Edition, ArteEast (2021); At The Looting Hand of Imperialism - Still Lives and Museum Anxiety, a lecture as part of a seminar at the Alliance for Historical Dialogue and Accountability program at Columbia University (2019); and no, not here, Mom's gallery, New York (2019).
Malka received her MFA from Columbia University in 2018, and was among the inaugural fellows of the 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Art and Theory Program in New York.
