Itamar Gov - ARTISTS

Itamar Gov is an artist whose diverse practice spans site-specific installations, sculptures, paintings, photographic series, and videos. His work delves into the interplay between history, ideology, and aesthetics, examining how personal, collective, and institutional memories are constructed and preserved. By uncovering overlooked micro-histories, Gov illuminates broader socio-political narratives, offering critical reflections on the traditions, conventions, rituals, and gestures that shape individual and communal identities. His projects function as inquiries into the cultural fabric that defines our shared and fragmented histories.

Itamar Gov (b.1989) has presented his work in different contexts and institutions around the world, and was a member of the curatorial teams of documenta 14 (Kassel and Athens), HKW (Berlin) and Fondazione Adolfo Pini (Milan). He was artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), Kulturakademie Tarabya (Istanbul) and the Nordic Artists’ Centre (Dale), among others, and received the Special Prize UTOPIA, as part of the Talent Prize 2023 (Rome). In April - June 2025 he will be a fellow resident at Villa Massimo/Casa Baldi in Rome/Olevano Romano.
