Born in Moscow, Margarita Gluzberg has lived and worked in London since 1979. Her practice ranges from painting and drawing, usually on a gigantic scale, to performance, sound installation and slide projection. From the subject of boxing, to the history of money and how it affects human relations, Gluzberg creates a visual territory from historical, autobiographical, and literary references. Recent solo exhibitions include: Avenue des Gobelins (2011), and The Money Plot (2008), both at Paradise Row, London; The Captive Bird Society: Dublin Edition (2009), Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin; and Phonofrapicon (2010) at Zonca&Zonca, Milan. Her ongoing project: The Captive Bird Society which centres round early recordings of birdsong, generating a wider investigation into the story of phonography and the mechanics of capture, was exhibited at the MacVal Museum, Paris, and Calvert 22, London, 2009-10.
