Heather Phillipson (b. 1978, London) works with moving image, music and text/poetry. Her current practice uses HD video in single screen and live formats, the latter in conjunction with live voice-off. Central to the recent videos is an impulse to stake out a bodily territory within the digital spectacle. Speech is used to invoke the schism between the (disembodied) voice and the corpus it inhabits – the mouth as a portal for both language and sensual experience: the gruesome interwedge of body and mind. She lives and works in London.
Heathers recent exhibitions include: Switch at the Baltic 39, Newcastle, 2012, London Open at Whitechapel Gallery, London, 2012 and the forthcoming Space Release at Circa, Newcastle, 10th -19th November 2012. She is also an award-winning poet, published by Faber and Faber in the Faber New Poets series. Her full-length collection of poems, Instant-flex 718, will be published by Bloodaxe in 2013. Heather is currently participating in the LUX Associate Artists Programme 2011-12.
