New Contemporaries Digital Residency
We are delighted to announce that Gabriella Davies (alumni 2020) will be the fifth recipient of our funded, two-month Digital Residency.
"I’m super stoked to receive the opportunity to be New Contemporaries Digital resident this summer. It’s only recently that I’ve really come to appreciate the formative role digital technologies have played in my life and I’m really excited to have the chance to really dig into what they mean to me. Growing up in the late 90s/early 00s, the first place I really got to explore my gender (as a top-secret baby trans girl) was the hand-me-down video games from my better- off cousins. I’ll be spending the residency deep-diving some of my fave games from this period, exploring what they symbolised for me in terms of gender, and mining their soundtracks for samples for some beats to wrap things up."
Gabriella Davies
Gabriella Davies is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work trades in sentimentality and nostalgia. Informed by her lived experience as a trans woman, she allows her interests to wander freely and guide her practice rather than adhering rigidly to particular conceptual or material frameworks. The result is an ever-evolving synthesis of cultural reference expressed primarily through film, sound, and installation with a deeply personal inflection. Gabriella is a member of Babeworld and holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice. Recent shows include ‘The Voices of a Tempest’ at Somerset House Studios with Babeworld and ‘Blue Italian’ at Forth.
