Nadia Kaabi-Linke
Nadia Kaabi-Linke (born 1978) is a
Tunis-born, Berlin-based visual artist best known for her conceptual art and 2011 sculpture ''Flying Carpets''. Her work has explored themes of
geopolitics,
immigration, and
transnational identities. Raised between Tunis,
Kyiv,
Dubai and Paris, she studied at the
Tunis Institute of Fine Arts and received a Ph.D. in philosophy of art from the
Sorbonne. Kaabi-Linke won the 2011
Abraaj Group Art Prize, which commissioned ''Flying Carpets'', a hanging cage-like sculpture that casts geometric shadows onto the floor akin to the carpets of Venetian street vendors. The piece was acquired by the
New York Guggenheim in 2016 as part of their
Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative. Kaabi-Linke also won the Discoveries Prize for emerging art at the 2014
Art Basel Hong Kong. Her works have been collected by the
Museum of Modern Art,
Dallas Museum of Art, Burger Collection, and
Samdani Art Foundation, and exhibited in multiple solo and group shows.
