Anneke Kampman

Anneke Kampman is a London-based artist and musician working across writing, performance, music and the moving image. Operating as theories, fictions, or framing devices, her works draw from her own experiences as a musician alongside the methods and arguments of critical theory and institutional critique, re-staging the techniques of the cultural industries in an “immanent critique” of pop. Key to this is an investment in questions related to the mediation, standardisation and reproduction of the artistic personality.

Kampman’s practice engages sound technologies, including microphones, speakers, synthesisers, drum machines and digital watches, as active participants, examining the histories of fidelity, economy and models of desire these instruments program or manifest. Recent video and performance works explore the politics and multivalent histories of popular music’s global circulation via visual media such as music-video.

She completed a PhD at the School of Fine Art in 2023. Her work has been presented at LUX Artist Moving Image Festival, Pump House Gallery, South London Gallery, Glasgow International Festival, Jerwood Space, Somerset House, La Monnaie De Munt, Café Oto, Mayday Rooms, Chapter Arts Centre and BBC Tectonics Festival.
