Lives and works in London and Birmingham

Kelly Large uses curatorial forms to explore the relationship between artist, institution and audience. Her recent projects explore ideas of transmission and reception, particularly the amplification, disruption and re-articulation of meaning when communicated over social, cultural and geographical distances.
These enquires have resulted in projects that have used a range of distribution mechanisms such as FM radio and publication formats as sites for making and presenting art. These include: Wish You Were Here 87.9FM in collaboration with STATIC – a temporary local radio station that explored ideas and experiences of nearness and remoteness; QSL 107.1FM for mima – an audio publication and radio broadcast that investigated the active relationship between artwork and listener; and The Doppler Effect, in collaboration with Ruth Claxton – a research project inviting 100 artists to ask and answer questions in the form of an A5 pamphlet, in order to archive the similarities and differences between local and global artistic pre-occupations and behaviours.
