Amy Kingsmill

Amy Kingsmill is a radical, queer London-based performance artist. Her work focuses on transformation and transcendence, combing beauty with arrestingly visceral actions. She creates both minimalist pain-based ritualistic performance, and strongly visual works which present costume as an installation on the body. Since graduating she has performed 'Fairytale' at the first Karachi Biennale (2017), 'Bleeding Skirt' at Tempting Failure International Biennale of Perform e Art and Noise (2018), 'Journey' at Spill Festival of Performance (2014), 'Corpus Sonos' at Panopoly Lab New York (2014) and at LAST projects Los Angeles (2019), 'Trance Dance' at Franko B’s Untouchables (2015), 'Bloom' at Liquid Rooms, Venice (2018), 'Birth' at The ICA London as part of Fluid0 by Shu Lea Cheang (2019), and at The Globe, LA (2019) and presented a collaborative work, 'Tender Blood', with Sheree Rose (2015). She also cohosted Methodologies in Body Art (2017) with Sheree Rose and Rhiannon Aarons as part of LADA DIY+. She currently runs the Extreme Performance Association at LADA.
