Biography
Born and based in Glasgow, Michelle Hannah is an artist, writer and performer whose practice spans sound, expanded photography, speculative writing, moving image and vocal performance. Through processes of excavation and sampling, they assemble post-digital artefacts, archival fragments and material remnants into unstable constellations that examine queer dystopias, embodiment, cultural memory and autofiction.
They have exhibited and performed at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh; HOME, Manchester; CGP London; ZKU, Berlin; Dundee Contemporary Arts; BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; Mingsheng Art Museum, Shanghai; Stills, Edinburgh; Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle; Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; Cooper Gallery, Dundee; Tate Liverpool; and the Royal College of Art, London. Their work has been presented at Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art, TULCA Festival, Dresden Film Festival, British Art Network and LUX Scotland.
