born 1978 in Tunis, Tunisia.
Nadia Kaabi-Linke is a Tunisian artist, born in Tunis in 1978 from a
Russian mother from Kiev and a Tunisian father. She experienced life in many
countries, languages, and cultures, such as Ukraine (Kiev), Tunisia
(Tunis and Bizerte), the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and France
(Paris). She studied in the Academy of Fine Arts in Tunis, and later in
Paris where she combined her artistic work with studies in philosophy and science. Today, she lives and works
in Tunis and Berlin. She accomplished her scientific research in
artistic poeïtics, which focused the subject “The Invisible and the
Pictorial Emergence of the Surface in Installation-Paintings” with the
degree of a PhD (summa cum laude) at the Sorbonne University of Paris in 2008.
This concept remained central to here practical art work.
praxis communicates the notions of contemporary history in the context of an “archeology of the visual contemporaneity” and site-specificity.
