GEORGINA STARR

Georgina Starr is a British artist whose work came to international attention in the 1990s with her large-scale installations incorporating video, sound, sculpture, photography, drawing, text and performance. Her works follow complex and fragile emotional narratives in which she explores the female body and voice, identity, history and fiction to create multi-layered theatrical events. Described as: “magically complex works that challenge the viewer to re-examine the self, the unconscious and its ever-morphing biographies through a glittering and melancholic theatre of memory, mythology and fiction.” 

Starr’s work has been featured in hundreds of exhibitions in the UK and internationally over the last 35 years, including at Tate Britain, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Kunsthalle Zürich, the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, the Venice Biennale, and Glasgow International. Recent exhibitions, projects and performances include The Discreet Dash (2025), a novel published by JOAN Publishing (2025); Rouge Brillant Silky, a performance for Hermès at La Monnaie de Paris, France, and in Shanghai (2025); The Triangles of Ursula (performance), Ex-Chiesa dell’Angelo Custode, Pinksummer Contemporary Art, Genoa, Italy (2024); and Quarantaine, a film project screened as part of the Jarman Award 2021 at Towner Gallery, LUX Scotland, Nottingham Contemporary, Spike Island, G39, The MAC Belfast, and Whitechapel Gallery, London, as well as at Glasgow International 2021, among other venues. Other notable presentations include the performance and installation Moment Memory Monument at Palazzo Reale, Milan (2017); the solo exhibition Hello. Come here. I want you. at Frac Franche-Comté, France (2017); the live performance commission Androgynous Egg for Frieze Projects (2017); I, Cave at MIMA, Middlesbrough, UK (2015) and I am a Record and I am the Medium, Le Confort Moderne, Poitiers, France (2010), among others.
