Shimon Attie is a visual artist whose work explores how contemporary media may be used to re-imagine new relationships between space, time, place, and identity. His practice includes creating fine art photographs, permanent and temporary site-specific installations in public places, immersive mixed-media installations for museums and galleries, and new media works. In many projects, Attie uses a variety of media to animate sites with images of their lost histories or speculative futures. This has included introducing the histories and narratives of marginalized and forgotten communities into the physical landscape of the present. Attie’s work has been exhibited and collected by museums around-the-world, including NY MoMA, The National Gallery in Washington DC, Boston’s ICA, the Miami Art Museum, and Paris’s Centre Pompidou, among others. He has received numerous fellowships and awards, including the Guggenheim, the Rome Prize, Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants, a visual artist fellowship from Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute, and an NEA grant among many others. In 2013 and 2019, he was awarded the Lee Krasner Achievement Award, and in 2018 was inducted into the National Academy of Design. Attie’s work has been the subject of six monographs, as well as films aired on PBS, BBC, and  Germany’s ARD/ZDF.
