Kate Cooper

Creating multimedia, post-internet work that tackles issues of digital technology, capitalism and the female body, British artist Kate Cooper challenges and appropriates the visual language of advertising. Incorporating live models and CGI fabrication into her varied practice, Cooper’s female representations move through digital space as touchstones of what the artist refers to as ”hypercapitalism.” In addition to her individual work, Cooper is the co-director, along with artists Marianne Forrest and Marleen Boschen of an artist-run collaborative, Auto Italia South East, which was established in 2007. In addition to exhibitions and collaborative projects, Auto Italia is also involved in the production of internet broadcasts, documentaries and festivals.


Cooper has exhibited her work in several solo and group exhibitions including Neumeister Bar-Am, Berlin, Kunst-Werke Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Center for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, Whitechapel Gallery, London, and Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, among others. She has held residencies at Rijksakademie, Amsterdam and Villa Lena Foundation, Tuscany.
