Helena Goldwater
Helena Goldwater makes performance art, installation, and paintings. Since the 1980s, she has worked minimally, focusing on the quality of certain materials inhabiting a space. Her work ponders slowly, through repetition and a dedication to process.Her work has been shown at many galleries and festivals, nationally and internationally, including, Action: A provisional history of the 90s, MACBA: Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona; gut flora, MOCA, London; 1st Venice International Performance Art Week, Italy; If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, de Appel, Amsterdam; and at the Tate [Britain + Liverpool].
She also researches and compiles material on UK performance art histories of the ‘70s and ‘80s. She co-curated (with Rob La Frenais, Alex Eisenberg/ Live Art Development Agency) an online resource about 1980s UK-based Performance Art, Edge of an Era, which also commissioned new works, and programmed a series of events: www.edgeofanera.co.uk
Goldwater is Course Leader for BA Fine Art, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
