grace harrison

Grace Harrison was born in Leeds in 1989. After a time away from structured education she studied on the BA (Hons) Fine Art course at Central St Martins between 2009 & 2010. She withdrew from this course after completing her first year in order to engage in an independently organised education that is located within art but is pursued through her participation in a wide range of activities including internships, residencies, exhibitions, free lecture programmes, seminars, discussion groups and collective activity. She completed the Leeds College of Art Foundation programme in 2008.

She recently exhibited in Short Shorts, Art in Unusual Spaces, Leeds, 2009; No Soul For Sale, Tate Modern (with Black Dogs), London, 2010; Summer Residency Show, Trinity Buoy Wharf, London, 2010.

Grace Harrison has become increasingly concerned with alternative forms of knowledge and with testing different models for living and learning. She is developing a discursive practice, her works range in medium from film and installation to performance and writing. For Interim she will collaborate with LINE magazine to stage a series of off site events at the Light, Leeds that address alternative strategies for art education. You can find out more about the Alternative Strategies events here. In addition to this series of events, a temporary library will be installed within the space filled with influential, radical texts that have also attempted to question and divert the dominant institutional discourse. She will also co-edit Issue 6 of LINE with Rachael Cloughton, (published September 2011). Harrison is also represented in Interim by her film Coke Fridge.
