Katya Ev Anton

Katya Ev Anton is a non-binary white artist of mixed origins, born in Moscow, USSR. They live and work in Brussels. Ev develops artistic practices at the intersection of visual arts and performance. Their practice explores the complex relationship between society, economy, and the body, aiming to uncover our potential for agency within power structures. By subverting objects of state power, tools of everyday capitalism (laws, contracts), rituals perceived as banal, Ev constructs a performative language that spans from actionist-like performances in public spaces, to infiltrated interventions in museums, ‘constructed situations’.

Their works have been presented at the National Museum of Contemporary Art – EMST, Athens (2022), Netwerk Aalst (2021), M HKA (Antwerp, 2020), Palais de Tokyo (Paris, 2018), the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale (2017, parallel programme), the Winzavod Art Centre (6th Moscow Biennale, special project, 2015), etc.
