Lucy Powell
Lucy Powell born in 1972, is a British artist who has been based in Berlin since 1995. Working mainly in video and text, her practice is an ontological inquiry that focuses on language and nonhuman intelligence. Her artistic practice is research-based and ontological, an ongoing process of learning and unlearning, an opening and attuning to the reciprocities of the more-than-human community of life. She is interested in the interweaving of art, activism and meditation-based practices of rewilding the mind. Mostly working outside the gallery space, she creates walks, workshops, maps, audio works, participatory performances, performance lectures and books, and always looking for new opportunities for collaboration. In 2022 she started the project space Hildegard together with Andreas Hengst in a large garden on the outskirts of Berlin. 2019-2021 she collaborated with Ally Bisshop as HOLOBIOSONICS. 2011-2017 she co-founded Satellite Salon, a roaming platform for art-science conversations in Berlin, which 2015-2017 branched out into the the art school & university research project Salon Universitas in Kassel, Germany. Recent exhibitions and screenings include Inventing Measurement, Korean Cultural Centre, London; We, Animals—Biographies / We, Animals—Scenarios, Meinblau, Berlin; Screening Nature, Whitechapel Gallery, London; The Animal Gaze Returned, SIA, Sheffield; Amateurism, Kunstverein Heidelberg; The Worldly House (archive), dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel; and Shooting Animals, Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage.
