Ilona Németh (1963) lives and works in Dunajská Streda, Slovakia. Németh's activity is linked closely to Hungary, where she was awarded with Munkácsy-prize in 2001, in reckognition of her very intensive visibility in the Hungarian art scene dating back to the beginning of '90s. Several works of her has been purchased by the Ludwig Museum's collection. 

Apart from that, Németh is parallely present in the Slovakian contemporary art sphere: she was founding member of the Studio ltd, a group that propagated experimental art. In 2001, Németh participated at the 49th Venice Biennial together with Jiři Surůvka in the joint Slovakian and Czech pavilion. Since 2004 she has been teaching at the Intermedia Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. Her works were featuring shows out of Middle-East Europe as in Luxemburgh, Switzerland, France and Japan. Her art production is thus interpretable both in the local (South Slovakian region) and narrower (Hungarian-Slovakian), and broader (middle.east european) regional and an international context. Although art historians tried to push her activity into the closed circle of post-feminism in the '90s, her fields of interests much more outstretches this label.
