Biography

Hila Peleg has curated numerous interdisciplinary projects and exhibitions for institutions such as KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin), Iniva - Institute of International Visual Arts (London), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), and Centre Pompidou (Paris). In 2010 she founded the Berlin Documentary Forum, a biennial event initiated at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, devoted to the production and presentation of contemporary and historical documentary practices in an interdisciplinary context. She was the artistic director of the Berlin Documentary Forum until 2014. Peleg was co-curator of Manifesta 7 (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, 2008) and curator of the film program at the10th Shanghai Biennale (2014). Recently she was a curator of Documenta 14 (Athens and Kassel, 2017), with a focus on the film programs and the large-scale moving image installations in both Athens and Kassel. She also conceived Documenta’s year-long weekly film program KEIMENA that was running on Greece's public television channel ERT.[1]

Peleg’s feature films - A Crime Against Art (100min, 2007, Spain / Germany) , and Sign Space (77min, 2016, Germany) - are observation-based documentaries that engage with the conventions and debates that inform the institutional space of art.

Peleg is the co-editor of the book “Documentary Across Disciplines”, The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA and London, HKW, Berlin, 2016[1]
