Heimo Zobernig : chess painting features the work of Vienna-based artist Heimo Zobernig (b 1958, Mauthen, Austria) whose art practice includes sculpture, painting, installation, performance, and video.

The List Center show is Zobernig’s first solo institutional exhibition in the US since 1996. Also included in the exhibition will be a recent hybrid catalogue-artist book, Books & Posters, a comprehensive overview of all the artist’s books, printed-matter editions, monographs, catalogues and posters designed and published by Zobernig since 1980.

Curated by Yuri Stone, Assistant Curator, MIT List Visual Arts Center; and Diana Baldon, independent curator.

chess painting is an extension of a project initiated at the Malmö Konsthall, Sweden, in 2016.
