Bronwyn Lace
Bronwyn Lace is a visual artist from Botswana who lives and works between Johannesburg and Vienna. Site specificity, responsiveness and performativity are central to her work. Lace focuses on the collaborative relationships between art and other fields, including physics, history, museology, philosophy and literature.
Bronwyn Lace completed her studies in fine arts in 2004 and, in 2016, co-founded the Centre for the Less Good Idea in Johannesburg, South Africa, with William Kentridge, which she now directs and serves as its international liaison. In 2020, Lace co-founded The Zone, a collective based in Vienna that is committed to developing a completely new transdisciplinary and deliberative approach to research and curatorial work in art and science. As part of the Centre for the Less Good Idea, she is presenting the chamber opera Selemo this season in collaboration with the Komische Oper Berlin and the Neuköllner Oper.
