Artists » Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty

Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty have worked as a collaborative duo since 2011. Their work combines elements of durational and time-based art, minimalist movement, and electroacoustic music and sound. They are interested in processes, sounds, and movements that come close to imperceptibility, and the ways in which this material can be transformed through repetition, patterning, layering, and archiving.

They have exhibited and presented work at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; Serralves Museum, Porto; National Museum of Contemporary Art (Chiado), Lisbon; Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin; Kunstkraftwerk, Leipzig; and Digital in Berlin’s Kiezsalon series, Berlin, among others. They have been recipients of the LACMA Art + Technology Lab Award, and of the Tanzstipendium award of the Berlin Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa. They live and work in Berlin, Germany.

About Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty:

The first works that Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty collaborated on, in 2011 and 2012, were a series of durational performance-based works. These minimalist pieces set the tone for what would come — emphasising slow deliberation and conceptual clarity. One of these earlier works, Accompanied Walk, was presented several times, including at the very first Montag Modus event at the CHB in Berlin.
