Andrea Lissoni
Artistic Director, Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany

Andrea Lissoni has been the Artistic Director of Haus der Kunst München since 2020. His program is based on a transdisciplinary approach, in which all strands are deeply connected, and which started in April 2022 with the sound-and-music residency series TUNE and a series of intertwined exhibitions by Fujiko Nakaya, Dumb Type, Carsten Nicolai, Christine Sun Kim, Tony Cokes, and Karrabing Film Collective (2022). This was followed by Inside Other Spaces. Environments by Women Artists 1956—1976, alongside shows by Wang Shui, Martino Gamper, and Meredith Monk. This spring, the series developed further with solo exhibitions by Pan Daijing, Liliane Lijn, and Rebecca Horn.

Formerly he was Senior Curator, International Art (Film) at Tate Modern, London, and previously curator at HangarBicocca, Milan where his exhibitions included Micol Assael, Celine Condorelli, Gianikian-Ricci Lucchi, Joan Jonas, Mike Kelley, Ragnar Kjartansson, Philippe Parreno, Wilfredo Prieto, and Tomas Saraceno. At Tate, he curated Philippe Parreno’s Turbine Hall Commission in 2016, as well as survey exhibitions of Joan Jonas and Bruce Nauman. In 2019, he co-curated the Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement The Sound of Screens Imploding, Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève and OGR, Turin, and participated in the international launching of CCA Tashkent, the first public contemporary art center in Uzbekistan, where he curated Qo'rg'on Chiroq, the first solo exhibition by artist Saodat Ismailova.
