^{Lana Locke, Making (Babies), 2020, Video still}

Lana Locke (NC 2013 and 2016) is an artist practising across a range of media, including installation, sculpture and video. She is interested in exploring the precariousness of human and non-human life in the context our current political and ecological predicament. She draws on her direct personal experience and positionality as a starting point to explore wider ranging, intersectional contexts – from the gendered subjugations of motherhood to confronting White privilege and colonial and ecological violence.

I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to undertake this exciting residency at Hospitalfield. During the residency I plan to focus on researching a new artist’s film about swimming, diversity and pollution in the UK. I am particularly interested to engage with Hospitalfield’s programming in relation to water, its local environment and communities. I would also like to uncover more about recent and historical water pollution events that have occurred in Hospitalfield and the surrounding areas.

She has had solo exhibitions at LUNGLEY Gallery (2019, 2020 and 2023), Liddicoat & Goldhill project space (2018), DOLPH Projects, (2016) and Schwartz Gallery (2014). She has exhibited in group exhibitions at ADH Gallery (2023), Shtager & Shch (2023), Hales Gallery (2022), National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, Taiwan (2021), OOF Gallery (2021), Kingston Museum (2019), MOCA Taipei, Taiwan (2018), the Nunnery Gallery (2018) and Block 336 (2015).
