Oliver Beer (b. 1985) lives and works in London and Paris. Within and alongside his work with sound, he creates subtle and diverse sculptural, installation and film projects whose provenance sometimes seems autobiographical; but in which his play with universal – often intimate – concerns draws on shared emotions and perceptions. Oliver Beer has notably been exhibited at MoMA PS1, New York; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; MAC Lyon and at the Istanbul Biennale in 2015. He has held residencies with the Fondation Hermès, the Villa Arson and the Watermill Center, New York and is the winner of several awards, including the Daiwa Anglo - Japanese Foundation Art Prize (2015). His work is in many private and public collections including the Centre Pompidou, Paris; FRAC île de France, Paris; MAC Lyon; Kramlich Collection, San Francisco; National Museum of Art, Osaka, New National Museum of Monaco, and MONA Tasmania. In 2017, the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham hosted his first survey show. In 2018, he was invited to create a new performance piece and film for the Sydney Biennale.

In summer 2019, a solo presentation of his work will take place at the Met Breuer, New York.
