life and work

Ana Prvački studied up to a bachelor's degree at the Pratt Institute , New York, obtained a master’s degree from UIC Barcelona - Universitat Internacional de Catalunya in 2001 and a Master of Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore in 2005 .

Prvački's projects often invite participation, and sometimes they offer services to the audience. In The Money Mountain in New York's Artists Space (2008), she “washed” the viewers' paper money while they talked to them about finance, the concept of value and hygiene . For the Wandering Band in the Center Georges-Pompidou in Paris and in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston (2010) musicians were invited to play their daily scales and sound and trill exercises while strolling through the gallery rooms and the museum as optical and acoustic To explore the environment. For dOCUMENTA (13) , Prvački did not create an immediately tangible work of art. She hired a group of professional coaches and behavior teachers to teach etiquette and politeness to those working at the documenta . Most of the staff who had contact with visitors - such as exhibition guides, security guards, ticket vendors, cloakroom service - were briefed before the exhibition opened.

In 2009 Ana Prvački was artist in residence at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
