Matterlurgy

Matterlurgy is a collaborative practice between London based artists Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright. Their work investigates the critical ecologies of environmental change, across disciplines and media, combining the production of artworks with co-constructed events and live performance. They have produced projects about air pollution, river ecosystems, waste, flooding and climate modelling. Artworks have been made with sites including a hydropower station, disused steelworks, a laboratory for ice simulation, an abandoned copper mine, and galleries and museum collections.

Matterlurgy have collaborated with scientists at The University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Sheffield, King’s College London, and Royal Holloway University of London. Their work has been commissioned and exhibited across international venues and partners including: Delfina Foundation, Tate Modern, Raven Row Gallery, Gazelli Art House, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, ICA, The Showroom Gallery, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), UK Green Film Festival (UK), Bòlit Contemporary Arts Centre (Spain), Mains d’Œuvres (France), ONOMA (Finland), Dalane Kulturfestival (Norway), HIAP Frontiers of Retreat (Helsinki).
