Kirsty Stansfield est plasticienne. Ses sculptures et installations sonores interactives créent des situations et objets dans lesquels le son fonctionne en tant que médiateur dans la relations humaines et dans la relation entre l’humain et l’espace.

Des développeurs de logiciels, chorégraphes, danseurs, musiciens, comédiens, un metteur en scène et un spécialiste de voix. Kirsty a obtenu un PhD by Practice sous le titre “Practice Scores: a toolkit for artistic research” à l’University of Dundee, Ecosse. Ses formations précédentes: BA (Hons) en Sculpture à la Glasgow School of Art (1993) MSc en Electronic Imaging à la Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (2000).

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, actors, a theatre director and voice coach. Several recent projects have been developed in situations of health care where she has worked with elderly women living in a continuing care ward and a choreographer; 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 to explore the everyday performative practices of the institutional environment in order to broaden perceptions. Her practice is research driven and based in the development of participatory processes. Kirsty has a PhD by Practice entitled: “Practice Scores: a toolkit for artistic research” from the University of Dundee, Scotland.

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 developed work 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: site-specific one-to-one performance in an unused flat in Glasgow’s East End; site-specific installation at the Wolfson Medical School, University of Glasgow; 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.

Kirsty behaalde een PhD by Practice met de titel “Practice Scores: a toolkit for artistic research” aan de University of Dundee, Schotland.
