Ana Prvački is a conceptual artist whose practice draws inspiration from close observation of nature and everyday events. Her interdisciplinary approach encompasses video, augmented reality, sculpture, painting and immersive performance employing materials as diverse as magnets and honey. Through events where the artist engages directly with architecture, gives physical form to classical music and "launders" money, Prvački challenges societal norms of daily life and routines.

She has presented her work at numerous international venues including Gropius Bau, Berlin; de Young Museum, San Francisco; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston; and with a piece commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra. Group exhibitions include the 13th Gwangju Biennial, Sydney Biennial, Bangkok Arts Biennale, Chicago Architecture Biennial, 14th Istanbul Biennial and dOCUMENTA 13.

Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin, Italy, n.b.k Artothek in Berlin as well as numerous private collections in Europe, the United States, Mexico and Asia.

Her book of watercolors is published by Sternberg Press with an essay by Zadie Smith. To order the book see the link

In Ana Prvački's installation "Apis Gropius," nature finds its way into the museum. Thanks to augmented reality, architecture and wilderness are connected.
