Kirsten Reynolds is a British artist who makes works using a wide variety of media. She often works with sound and light and uses electronics, video and found objects to make artworks. Her practice also encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture, collage and print-making. Kirsten Reynolds has often worked in collaboration with other artists and musicians, a working method that began when she joined Bow Gamelan Ensemble in 1990 and worked with artist Paul Burwell making and playing scrap metal instruments and drums. In 1995 Kirsten Reynolds and Ashley Davies formed the 'bleakly titled collaboration'〔Neal Brown (Sonic Boom ) ''Freize'' issue 54 September–October 2000〕 Project Dark an experimental art and music group. Project Dark were invited by writer, musician and curator David Toop to participate in Sonic Boom an international sound art exhibition that took place in 2001 at the Hayward Gallery London.〔''Sonic Boom – The Art of Sound'', Published by Hayward Gallery, 2000. Forward by David Toop ISBN 1-85332-208-3〕 In her work Reynolds seeks the extraordinary in the everyday, a fascination that can be seen in the work ''Ex Memoria'' that takes discarded, old-fashioned standard lamps from the charity shops of her home town of St Leonards-on-Sea and combines them with speakers and control systems enabling the recycled lamps to be 'fitfully engaged in squeaky electronic chatter' according to Robert Sandall.〔Robert Sandall (Power Plant in Liverpool ) ''The Sunday Times'' 19 October 2008〕 ==Biography== Kirsten Reynolds was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1968. She gained a BA in Fine Art Sculpture at Kingston Polytechnic (now Kingston University) graduating in 1996. In 1995 Reynolds moved to Limehouse in London's East End and met Paul Burwell who lived and worked in the nearby area of Bow. The week after she graduated she began working with Burwell making sculptural instruments and learning drumming in preparation for a series of performances at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith. Reynolds continued to work with Burwell for many years, and collaborated on a large performance during his residency at the Midlands Arts Centre in 1992.〔David Toop (Paul Burwell ) ''The Guardian'' 5 March 2007〕 Through this work she met artist Mark Anderson and Anne Bean who she has worked with on many projects including the ongoing Power Plant events. Power Plant was first commissioned by Oxford Contemporary Music〔Oxford Contemporary Music, ( Power Plant event ), 1–3 September 2005〕 and the University of Oxford Botanic Garden where the first Power Plant event took place in September 2005. As part of the British Council Power Plant exhibition at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh during the Edinburgh International Festival 2009, Reynolds exhibited a sound installation using old gramaphones.〔Charlotte Higgins (Edinburgh festival: Artists create a greenhouse of horrors ), ''The Guardian'' 13 August 2009〕 Kirsten Reynolds has been collaborating with painter Alan Rankle since 2008 and their first major joint exhibition ''On the Edge of Wrong'' took place at the Fondazione Stelline, Milan, Italy in February 2010.〔Fondazione Stelline, (On The Edge of Wrong ) 11 February – 13 March 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirsten Reynolds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
