Cem A. selected as critic-in-residence for 2025
Each year, MGLC hosts an international art critic in collaboration with the Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory. In September 2025, Cem A., an artist whose work operates at the intersection of art making and art criticism, is due to arrive at MGLC Švicarija.
Known for running @freeze_magazine, an art meme page on Instagram, Cem A. employs humour and digital tools to challenge and reimagine the structures of the art world. His work explores themes such as virality and performativity, often through collaborative projects.
Cem A.'s selected solo exhibitions and interventions include the Barbican Centre, ZKM Karlsruhe, Berlinische Galerie, Louisiana Museum, Künstlerhaus Bethanien and Museum Wiesbaden. His work was also included in documenta fifteen, Istanbul Modern, Mudam Luxembourg, Klima Biennale Vienna, Temporary Gallery and 14th Biennial of Young Artists, Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje.
He has held lectures at the Royal College of Art London, HEAD Geneva, KASK Ghent and Universität der Künste Berlin.
