Charlotte Prodger receives Paul Hamlyn Award

http://artists.phf.org.uk/artist/charlotte-prodger/

Charlotte Prodger (MFA 2010) is a Glasgow-based artist who works with moving image, writing and performance, exploring the intertextual relationships between each of these materials. Narrative fragments gleaned from different places and points of her life are shown in parallel to reveal ongoing enquiry into the contingency and intimacy of materials. Prodger’s installations and performances look at what happens to speech - and the self for which it is a conduit - as it metamorphoses via time, space and technological systems.

Having moved through various deconstructed modes of presentation including sculptural multi-monitor installations, Prodger is now focusing on single channel, long form videos. In this immersive context she finds possibilities for more complex relationships between image and sound, subject and object. Her recent videos Stoneymollan Trail (2015), BRIDGIT (2017), Passing as a Great Grey Owl (2017) and LHB (2017) explore intertwined relationships between queer bodies, landscape, language, technology and time.

Solo shows include Sculpture Centre, New York; Bergen Kunsthall; Kunstverein Düsseldorf; Glasgow International; Studio Voltaire, London; Spike Island, Bristol; Koppe Astner, Glasgow; Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin and Hollybush Gardens, London. Groups shows and screenings include Tate Britain, London; New York Film Festival; Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival; British Art Show 8; Künstlerhaus Graz; Artists Space, New York; Pier Arts, Orkney and Kunsthalle Freiburg. Prodger’s writing has been published in F.R.DAVID, 2HB, Frieze and Happy Hypocrite. She graduated from the MFA at Glasgow School of Art in 2010.
