Falke Pisano (b. 1978) is a contemporary artist born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She currently lives and works in Berlin. Pisano works with physical installations, sculptures and performances that engage with and question discourses on contemporary art and the institutions that harbor it.[1] Pisano was awarded with the Prix de Rome in 2013.[2] Pisano identifies her work as 'art-based research' since the process of creation of her artworks go through a thorough series of literature research and preparation on the subject which she will discuss in her pieces.

Life and Career[edit]

Early Life[edit]

She was born in a family with parents which encouraged her to question even the most ordinary activities of modern life.[3] Her grandmother's family migrated from Indonesia, which used to be under the colonising power of the Netherlands. Pisano's great-grandfather was in the Dutch Army and the family migrated to The Netherlands in the 1950s. Her family identifies their roots as 'Indos'.[4]

Education[edit]

Pisano studied at Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) from 1997 to 2001, as well as at the Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht from 2005 to 2006.[5] After her studies at HKU, for three years, she worked as an assistant at Ellen de Bruin Projects in Amsterdam by which she is currently being represented. Later, she continued her education at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht between the years of 2005 and 2006. After a lecture in which she represented some of her ideas and her perspective, her tutors saw that pursuing a career in fine arts was better suited for Pisano rather than becoming an art theorist, and encouraged her to create more practical works in the artistic field.[6][3]

Awards[edit]

Falke Pisano won the Prix de Rome in 2013 with Prison Work. On November 5th, she has received the prize from Minister Jet Bussemaker of Culture, in the presence of the Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Including the amount of 40000 euros, Pisano also received alongside the award, a residency in Rome. An international jury rewarded the prize to Pisano for her pursuit of new challenges, and undertaking a new approach with remarkable precision and convictions, building on the past. The artist stunned the jury with what for her is a highly political installation in which she echoes on The Body in Crisis, based on a mesmerising historical analysis of the consequences of privatisation in the prison system.[16]
