Anneke Kampman (b.1986. Edinburgh, Scotland) is an artist and musician working across text, music and moving image. Recently, her artworks have included videos, performances, records, websites, essays and lectures, analysing how the culture industry (re)produces personality for profit, addressing issues of standardisation, reproduction and artistic autonomy within the global circulation of pop-music. Operating through a range of theoretical, fictional and artistic frames her works draw from her own experiences as a musician alongside the methods and arguments of institutional critique, re-staging the techniques of the cultural industries in an “immanent critique” of pop. She is currently undertaking a practice-led PhD at the School of Art under the supervision of Jon Thomson, David Burrows and Benedict Drew.
She has presented her work at locations including, LUX Artist Moving Image Festival, Tramway, Glasgow; Pump House Gallery, London; South London Gallery; Glasgow International Festival; Jerwood Space, London; La Monnaie De Munt, Brussels; Café Oto, London; Filmhuis Cavia, Amsterdam; Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff and BBC Tectonics Festival.
Collective practice is key to her work and over the past few years she has contributed to collaborative endeavours in performance, pedagogy and expanded research at venues including Mayday Rooms, Oberhausen Festival and Somerset House. She was previously an associate artist at Open School East and part of the artist collective Common Study who were residents at Somerset House Studios until 2021.
