With multidisciplinary work, spanning sculpture, performance, photography, and animation, Price constantly bends the conventions of material, scale, and presentation. The artist focuses on themes of representation and humanism and how we relate and respond to power structures within society. In this large-scale retrospective, the Kunsthal will be showing a wide variety of works from Price’s two-decade-spanning career: from the early performance ‘Licked’ (2001) to recent sculptures such as ‘A Place Beyond’ (2022).
