Anya Gallaccio (b. 1963. Scotland, UK) is a British installation artist based in London. Gallaccio studied at Kingston Polytechnic (1984–5), and Goldsmiths College, London (1985–8). A core aspect of her work is change and transformation. Both the ephemerality and site-specificity of all her work make it notoriously difficult to document. Gallaccio is careful to discard all the material related to an installation once it has closed and resists photographic documentation; in this sense her work is anti-monumental, unconcerned with a legacy outside the memories of those who witnessed it. Recent solo exhibitions include Anya Gallaccio, MCA San Diego, California, USA, (2015) Anya Gallaccio, Lehmann Maupin, New York, USA, (2015) Anya Gallaccio, Silas Marder Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY (2015), Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, California (2014), STROKE, Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh, Scotland (2014). Selected group exhibitions include About Trees, Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern (2015), Beyond Limits.
