Petrit Halilaj (born 1986) is a Kosovar visual artist living and working between Germany, Kosovo and Italy.[3] His work is based on documents, stories, and memories related to the history of Kosovo.[4][5]

Halilaj is a tutor at Beaux-Arts de Paris, in Paris, France.[6]

Early life

Born in Kosovo, Halilah left the country with his family during the Yugoslav wars of 1991–2001.[7] Settled in Italy, Hililaj studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.[8]

Exhibitions

During the 2010 Berlin Biennale, Halilaj exhibited a sculptural reconstruction of a house built by his parents, to replace the family home that was levelled by bombing during the 1998–199 Kosovo war.[9][10]

Halilaj represented the Republic of Kosovo at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.[11][12]

In 2017 Halilaj had a solo exhibition at the New Museum in New York.[13] In 2018 he had a solo show at the Hammer Museum.[14]

Halilaj created a large site-specific installation of giant sculptural flowers in 2020 for Madrid's Palacio de Cristal.[15] In 2020 Halilaj dropped out of the Belgrade Biennale, claiming that the Serbian Biennale would not recognize his Kosovo nationality.[16][17]

Collections

Awards

He received the Mario Merz Prize[3] and the special mention of the jury at the 57th Venice Biennale, both in 2017.[12]
