Imogen Stidworthy
Imogen Stidworthy is an artist, based in Liverpool (UK). Her work engages with different forms of voicing and sense-making, which emerge in spaces between languages—when verbal language is unstable or fails, in cases, for example, of aphasia, trauma, or linguistic or cultural difference. She received her PhD from Lund University, Malmö Art Academy in 2020, with her dissertation Voicing on the Borders of Language, which focuses on the relationship between verbal and non-verbal modes of being, in the context of non-verbal autism. Her work has been exhibited in major exhibitions, including Survival Kit 11, LCCA, Riga (2020), Bergen Assembly (2019, 2013), Suzhou Biennial (2016), Sao Paulo Biennial (2014), Busan Biennial (2012), and Documenta 12, Kassel, DE (2007). Her solo shows include Museum Dr Guislain, Gent, BE (2022), Netwerk, Aalst, BE (2019), Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, DE (2018), Imperial War Museum, London (2015), AKINCI, Amsterdam (2013, 2009, 2005), and Matts Gallery London (2011, 2003). She curated two related group exhibitions at the Tapies Foundation, Barcelona (2012) and Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, (MuKHA, 2008).
