In the newest episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König speaks with artist Agnes Questionmark.

Agnes Questionmark (b. 1995 in Rome, Italy) uses performance, installation, and sculpture to bring the viewer on a journey toward its root, questioning their genesis and presenting uncertain future potentialities of becoming.

Questionmark received her BFA from Camberwell College of Arts in London and is currently pursuing her MFA at the Pratt Institute in New York. Her work has been exhibited across the world. In 2023 she was commissioned a performance and installation for the Italian Pavilion at the 14th Gwangju Biennale as well as presenting her performance “Falling Water” at the Centre d’Art Contemporain (MAMCO) in Geneva, Switzerland. Recently, she has been invited to the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (participation out of competition - Biennale College Arte) curated by Adriano Pedrosa.

In this episode, Agnes Questionmark explains where her artist name comes from, talks about gender identity and reveals what the Venice Biennale project will be all about.
