Erzen Shkololli (born 1976, Pejë, Kosovë) is an artist, curator and co-founder of EXIT Contemporary Art Institute in Pejë.

His art practice utilizes local rituals and folklore to draw attention to socio-political situations. Through his work, Shkololli acts as a sort of instinctive and biased anthropologist, re-enacting traditional ceremonies, while insinuating contemporary symbols and disillusion. This interplay of past and present typifies a certain generation of art practice throughout the Balkans, locating Shkololli within this broad cultural context. He has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions in the Czech Republic (2005) and Lucca, Italy (2001), as well as numerous group shows and biennials, including INTERRUPTED HISTORIES at the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, 2006; In the Gorges of the Balkans at Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany, 2003 (organized by past apexart Resident, Natasa Petresin); and most recently New Video, New Europe curated by Hamza Walker for The Kitchen in New York. His work has also appeared in significant European museums of contemporary art like the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Tate Modern of London. In 2001 he was awarded the Premio Michetti Prize of the Fondazion Michetti di Francavilla al Mare, Italy.

Shkololli has curated numerous international exhibitions of contemporary art including History started playing with my life at the National Art Gallery in Prishtinë (2005) and Reappearance at Museum of Kosova in Prishtinë (2004), in addition to programs and exhibitions at EXIT Contemporary Art Institute. He is currently working on a project featuring the work of artists from Israel, Palestine and the region of ex- Yugoslavia, which will be presented at the Israeli Centre for Digital Art, Holon, Israel in 2007.

Erzen Shkololli is in residency with apexart as the recipient of a CECArtsLink Fellowship.
