b.1988, Greenock
Alicia Matthews is an artist and audio maker living and working in the Outer Hebrides.
Past projects have used moving image, performance, sculpture and sound to explore technological hauntings, societal glitches, common land, geology and deep time often as speculative fictions. recent work uses haptics, text and ceramics to investigate the maternal body, witches, the gaelic otherworld and relationships between industrial detritus and the organic forms that both forge the landscapes in the Outer Hebrides.
Previous work has been exhibited and performed across the UK - including at Glasgow Tramway, Camden Arts Centre, Tate Modern and Tate Britain - as well as internationally at galleries and festivals in Lublin, Guangzhou and New York.
Past compositions have been commissioned by platforms including Jerwood Resonance and Radiophrenia.
musical projects include Malaizy (Few Crackles), Sue Zuki (Domestic Exile), LAPS (DFA Records, MIC Records), and Organs of Love (Optimo Music). Alicia co-runs the independent record label Domestic Exile and hosts a long standing monthly show on NTS Radio.
