Amelia Beavis-Harrison is an artist and curator currently based in Nottingham, UK. This website documents some of the art work and curatorial projects produced since 2007. Amelia initiated and runs Lincoln Art Programme, a live art commissioning body in Lincoln, alongside her freelance work.
Amelia makes art work that is informed by histories, mythologies, situations, occurrences, conversations and the production of art. Using research as a process of investigation for creating work Amelia interrogates subject matters to develop concepts, whilst using snippets of information gathered from common sources such as newspapers and the internet. Research into both the unusual and the trivial create starting points for investigation, which often leads to performance, action and text based work. An element of Amelia’s performance work looks to investigate the role that costume has in performance and its function as an object. The key strands that run through Amelia’s practice are the presentation of performance in an immersive and collaborative manor, many of the works she produces involve audience participation, whilst at times working with other practitioners to bring the work to fruition. Amelia’s text work uses influences from the every day and the under exposed inform the works outcomes. Through gestures, visualisations and the blatantly obvious she explores ideas and re-conditions them in her art.
