Irina Korina (Russian: Ирина Валерьевна Корина; born 11 January 1977) is a Russian installation artist known for large-scale immersive installations that combine elements of architecture, theatre scenography, and everyday materials[3]. Drawing on her background in scenic design, her work explores post-Soviet urban space, collective memory, and the relationship between domestic and public environments[4].

Biography

[edit]

Korina graduated from the stage design faculty of the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), Moscow, in 2000. She also participated in the Valand Academy exchange programme in Sweden. From 2002 to 2005, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna[3].

Korina has been actively engaged with theatre practice and has had a number of exhibitions since 1999[3]. She was awarded The Debut Prize for drama works in 1999 and also the Soratnik All-Russian Contemporary Art Prize three times in 2006, 2009, and 2012. In 2008 and 2015 Korina became a laureate of the Innovation Prize[2], the All-Russian State Competition in Contemporary Art. She took part in the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017[1], and was also awarded the Terna Award for Contemporary Art in 2012[5][6].
