Asad Raza creates dialogues and rejects disciplinary boundaries in his work, which conceives of art as a metabolic, active encounter within and beyond the exhibition setting. Raza’s practice often takes planetary ecologies as a focus, with a strong emphasis on the participatory and the performative aspects of art, as well as an engagement with all of the senses. His recent exhibitions and ambitious public art projects, such as Prehension (2024), Diversion (2022), Absorption (2019), and Root sequence. Mother tongue (2017), all involve both scripted and improvised interactions with natural materials. His projects have been realized by institutions such as Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Manifesta 15, Barcelona; Gropius Bau, Berlin; Serpentine Galleries, London; Kunsthalle Portikus, Frankfurt; Ruhrtriennale, Essen; Kaldor Public Art Projects, Sydney; the Lahore Biennale; Museion, Bolzano; and Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.
