| CV | Born in Gloucester, England, 1971. Lives and works in London. |
Phil Coy’s work employs a range of mediums from video and photography to text-based and generative performance. Works have investigated the translation of different forms of representation, from the digital mapping of the entire surface of the earth to the picturing of land and cityscapes in the tradition of radical art practices from the 1960s, in particular Land Art, systems-based practices, and structural film. Recent work has been included in Hayward touring exhibition ‘Incommunicado’ at Cornerhouse Manchester (2004), ‘Real Estate’ at the ICA, London (2005), and Phil Coy: Test Signal, Hannah Rickards: Thunder, South London Gallery (2006). His recent work Provincial Landscape (2007) was produced for a survey show of digital art in the Ars Nova Museum, Finland. Coy also produces a series of publications (Audio Guides) and performance lectures (Auto Lectures and Drum Lectures) that are edited from found and recorded language. |
