Petrit Halilaj (born 1986) is a Kosovar visual artist[3][4] living and working between Germany, Kosovo and Italy.[5] His work is based on documents, stories, and memories related to the history of Kosovo.[6][7]

Halilaj is a joint tutor with Alvaro Urbano at Beaux-Arts de Paris, in Paris, France.[8]

Early life

Born in SFR Yugoslavia, now Kosovo, Halilaj left the country with his family during the Yugoslav wars of 1991-2001.[9] Settled in Italy, Hililaj studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.[10]

Career

During the 6th Berlin Biennale in 2010, Halilaj exhibited a sculptural reconstruction of a house built by his parents, to replace the family home that was levelled by bombing during the 1998-1999 Kosovo war.[11][12]

Halilaj represented the Republic of Kosovo at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.[13][14]

Halilaj had several solo exhibitions, including one at the New Museum in New York in 2017-2018[7] and one at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in 2018-2019.[14]

Halilaj created a large site-specific installation of giant sculptural flowers in 2020 for Madrid's Palacio de Cristal.[2][15]

In 2020 Halilaj dropped out of the 58th October Salon – Belgrade Biennale [sr], claiming that the Cultural Center of Belgrade [sr], which organises it, would not recognize his Kosovar nationality.[4][16]

Awards

He received the Mario Merz Prize[5] and a special mention of the jury at the 57th Venice Biennale, both in 2017.[14]
