Amalia Ulman

Amalia Ulman (1989) is an artist based in New York. Her multidisciplinary work uses fictional narratives to explore the tensions between globalization, consumerism, public image, and private desires. With the performance Excellences & Perfections, exhibited at the Tate Modern, Whitechapel Gallery (London), Rhizome at the New Museum (New York), and La Casa Encendida (Madrid), among others, she became the first contemporary artist to successfully create a fictional work on social media. Her recent exhibitions include: "Jenny's" at Jenny's, New York, 2023; "Role Play,” Fondazione Prada, Milan, 2022, and "Sordid Scandal,” Tate Modern, London, 2020. Her first feature film, El Planeta, premiered in 2021 at the Sundance Film Festival and opened the NF/ND series at MoMA at Lincoln Center. Her second film, Magic Farm, premiered in 2025 at the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlinale.
