Kirsty Stansfield’s interactive sound installations and sculptures provide situations and props in which sound mediates peoples’ relationships to each other and to their physical environment. These situations create opportunities for dialogue between the artist and an “audience”.
She has worked with a broad range of practitioners from different fields, including computer-programmers, a choreographer, dancers, musicians, and actors. Recent projects have been developed in situations of health care where she has worked with elderly women living in a continuing care ward; a choreographer and actors in a Communication Suite at The Medical School, Glasgow University exploring non-verbal communication to enact authentic experience; and parents and medical staff in a Neonatal Unit working collaboratively with artist Steven Anderson. She is currently completing a PhD by Practice entitled, “Object Scores: Sound, Dialogue & Practice” at the University of Dundee, Scotland.
After completing a BA (Hons) in Sculpture from Glasgow School of Art (1993) and an MSc in Electronic Imaging at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (2000), Kirsty has developed her own art practice in parallel to working within socially-engaged contexts. Recently her art work was developed as Scottish Arts Council Partners artist-in-residence with Art in Hospital culminating with a solo exhibition at the Project Room, Tramway, Glasgow. Recent exhibitions, commissions and residencies include: Triskel Arts, Cork; Heyri, South Korea; NOW Performance Festival; VIVID, and Sonic Arts Network. She has collaborated with choreographer, Colette Sadler; Speckled Computing Research Group, University of Edinburgh; Smart-its Computing, University of Lancaster; Dept of Applied Computing, University of Dundee; and Stills Gallery with Learning & Teaching Scotland.
