Steve Reinke

Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi is pleased to present Orphan Parade, Steve Reinke’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, bringing together his new eponymous film, a selection of films spanning 1993–2026, and a series of needlepoint works. In his accompanying text, Reinke considers how the accumulation of forgotten and overlooked data in the cloud offers a technological counterpart to the subconscious, conventionally understood as buried or submerged. This comparison forms the background to his speculations on pleasure, desire, and his own artistic production.

Steve Reinke (b. 1963, Eganville, Canada) has had solo exhibitions at mumok, Vienna; The Power Plant, Toronto; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Gallery 400, Chicago; and Argos, Brussels. His work has also been shown at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Camden Arts Centre, London; Nottingham Contemporary; Bergen Kunsthall; and the Whitney Biennial, New York. His films have screened at Sundance Film Festival; the Berlinale; International Film Festival Rotterdam; International Short Film Festival Oberhausen; BFI London Film Festival; and New York Film Festival. He lives and works in Chicago.
