Bronwyn Lace_portrait by Stella Olivier.jpg
Bronwyn Lace (born Gaborone, Botswana, 1980) is a visual artist. Site specificity, responsiveness and performance are central to her practice.  Lace’s focus is on the collaborative relationships between art and other fields, including the natural sciences, museum practice, philosophy and literature. In Johannesburg, South Africa Lace has developed a combination of an introspective, process-led studio practice and a gregarious, collaborative communal practice. On a meta level her life as an artist has sort to better understand complexity, to embrace nuance and to build interconnectedness. Lace’s fellowship with other fields comes from an understanding that when we meet, react and respond to one another we are both ultimately transformed and form part of an intricate net-like fabric of never ending activity.
In 2013 Lace worked on the film and book ‘My Room at the Center of the Universe’, related to collaborative community activist projects she co-initiated with her partner Marcus Neustetter in the Northern Cape, South Africa. 
In 2016 Lace joined William Kentridge in founding the Centre for the Less Good Idea in Johannesburg. She is the Centre's director and international liaison.  

In 2020 Lace co-founded The Zone in Vienna, Austria, a collective calling for the development of an entirely novel transdisciplinary and deliberative approach to inquiry and curation across the arts and sciences and beyond.

Today Lace lives and works between Vienna and Johannesburg.
