Zoe Kirkwood

Zoe Kirkwood (b.1983 Adelaide) is an artist working between Australia and the UK. Her work is concerned with imagining new economic and political futures. Here, these are considered in relation to the concept of Hyperstition – ‘a fiction that aims to become true’. 15th Century master artisan Brunelleschi and an 80’s episode of the cartoon the Chipmunk are employed to help explain this.

Kirkwood’s work has recently been shown at Tramway, Glasgow (Last Futures), the Art Gallery of South Australia, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA) and Canberra Contemporary Art Space (CCAS). Last year she was a participant in Scotland’s collateral events at the 2018 Venice Architectural Biennale. Selected recent awards include the Anne and Gordon Samstag Scholarship (2017), the Dr Harold Schenberg Art Prize (2014), and the Sir Arthur Simms Travelling Scholarship (2018).
