Runa Islam (born 1970) is a Bangladeshi-born artist based in London, and a nominee for the 2008 Turner Prize. She is principally known for her film works.[1]
In 2005 she participated in the Venice Biennale.[2]
Works
Islam's 2006 16mm film installation Conditional Probability was the result of a residency at North Westminster Community School, in the final year before its closure.[3] It was first exhibited at the Serpentine Gallery and "imbues even the most mundane dusty corner with a little visual magic."[4] The other artists included in the project to document the life of the school before it closed were Christian Boltanski, Faisal Abdu'allah and the architect Yona Friedman.[5]
