Descripción del Artista

Hiwa K was born in Kurdistan, Iraq in 1975. His informal studies in his home town Sulaymaniyah were focused on European literature and philosophy, learnt from available books translated into Arabic. After moving to Germany in 1988, Hiwa K studied music; specifically he was a pupil of the Flamenco master Paco Peña. His works escape normative aesthetics, employing a multi-layered approach toward vernacular forms, oral histories (CHICAGO BOYS, 2011), modes of encounter (COOKING WITH MAMA, 2006), and ongoing political struggle (THIS LEMON TASTES OF APPLE, 2011). His works draw and expand upon personal histories, stories told by family members and friends, as well as found situations and everyday forms that are the products of pragmatics and necessity. He consistently questions and critiques the institutional system of art education and the professionalization of art practice, as well as the myth of the individual artist. Many of his works have a strong collective and participatory dimension and express the concept of obtaining knowledge from everyday experience. Hiwa K has been involved in various collective exhibitions such as La Triennale in Paris, Alternative in Gdańsk, and the EDGWARE ROAD PROJECT at the Serpentine Gallery in London (all 2012). His CHICAGO BOYS project has been hosted by numerous international institutions since 2011. In 2015 Hiwa K participated in Manifesta 7 in Bolzano and in the 56th Venice Biennale. In 2017 he will participate in documenta 14 in Athens.
