Liv Schulman (1985, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine artist living and working between Paris and Buenos Aires. Her work encompasses documentary fictions, television series, performative readings, and novelistic texts, all characterized by a thorough use of language. These various forms of discourse serve as absurd and nonsensical tools for a paranoid interpretation of the social world, exploring the complex role of subjectivity within the political sphere.

In her approach, creating means experiencing a medium, a system, or a subject firsthand. Through a blend of cynical figures—such as artists, detectives, and writers—Schulman evokes a multitude of stories that document a tragic notion of paranoid shock. In this way, economic crises, collective neuroses, intimate narratives, and sociopolitical contexts converge in her work, inviting critical reflection on contemporary dynamics, particularly through humor and irony.

Schulman holds degrees from institutions including the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Torcuato Di Tella University, Goldsmiths University, and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Cergy. She has received numerous awards, such as the ADAGP, the Villa Vassilieff Bourse, and the Prix de la Fondation d’entreprise Ricard. Her works have been featured in biennials and exhibitions around the world, including those at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Reina Sofía Museum, and the Rennes Biennial. Her work is part of collections like those at the Centre Pompidou and the CNAP in France.
