Antoine Catala was born in Toulouse, France, in 1975. His sculptural practice obsessively examines how technology is used in everyday, banal communications and is viscerally enmeshed with language. Catala uses rudimentary machines to materialize communication habits and highlight how miscommunication is core to mediation. Recent solo presentations include packaging or envelopes. all feelings disintegrate up close, Praz-Delavallade, Los Angeles (2020); Babble Babble, art hall, Baltimore (2024); and I love you, I love you, 47 Canal, New York (2025). His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Haus der Kunst, Munich; the Venice Biennale; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Catala lives in New York.
