Ceal Floyer
Artist
Pakistan

Ceal Floyer, a British artist born in Pakistan, harmonizes concepts of minimalism and conceptual art with Marcel Duchamp’s notion of the ready-made. Her work reveals the reduction of the art’s senselessness to a mere joke through the play with the aesthetics of absurdity and the exploration of the boundaries of art and representation. One of the great contributions of this artist is the use of the ready-made as more than just a simple aesthetic formula containing meaningless mimicry. Her work is found in museum collections as significant as the Tate Modern in London and the MoMA in New York.
