About the Artist
Ed Atkins works predominantly in HD video, drawing and writing. Much of his work might be understood as attempting to conceive of a kind of materialism founded on perverse assertions and immaterial acts of conjuring; a peculiar site where ghosts might weigh several billion tons and bleed tar; a chord played on a Roland System-100 might be legitimately used to diminish the size of a malignant tumour. Clinically proven. Materialisation and embodiment. Atkins lives and works in London and holds an MA Fine Art from Slade School of Fine Art. His recent work has been shown at ICA, Whitechapel Gallery, Cabinet Gallery and international venues.
