Liv Schulman

Liv Schulman’s videos are inspired by TV series. Assuming the contradictions of different forms of political resistance and “the frustration of restrained revolutionary potential”, her characters “tend to construct self-destructing theses and become what they seem to criticize”, in monologues at once logical, psychotic and sarcastic. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Schulman lives in Paris. She studied at the École nationale supérieure d’arts de Cergy, followed by further training at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the postgraduate program at the Beaux-Arts de Lyon. In 2019, she won the Fondation Ricard Prize during the exhibition Le Vingtième Prix de la Fondation d’entreprise Ricard, and held a solo exhibition at Villa Vassilieff. In 2023, FRAC Bretagne held her solo show titled Adidas, Jennifer, Ariel, Woolite, le Chat, la Croix, le Temps, la Sangsue, les Problèmes, la Transformation, l’Ennui. Schulman has also been an artist-in-residence at the Villa Medici in Rome (2022) and at the Fondation Fiminco in Romainville (2024).
