WIP Space and Steam Works Gallery present a site specific exhibition by Kelly Lloyd, exploring history, place and the provision of creative spaces. Kelly Lloyd is a transdisciplinary artist and educator whose work focuses on issues of representation and knowledge production, prioritising public-facing, collaborative research. Lloyd has recently held solo exhibitions at the Royal Academy Schools (London), Crybaby (Berlin), Bill’s Auto (Chicago), Demo Room (Aarhus), and Dirty House (London), where she won the Art Licks Workweek Prize

She was the Starr Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools in 2018/19 and is currently pursuing a DPhil in Practice-Led Fine Art at the University of Oxford's Ruskin School of Art and Wadham College, supported by an All Souls-AHRC Graduate Scholarship and an Open-Oxford-Cambridge Doctoral Training Programme Studentship. Her practice combines text, murals, and discrete objects to create installations, alongside writing essays that she occasionally performs. Through paintings, sculptures, essays, and lectures, Lloyd explores absurd relationships between form and content, appropriating digital, physical, and social organisational structures, commodity forms, text, and advertising.
