Jul 3, 2022 Rebecca Moss Artist and activist

Rebecca is an artist based in Essex and East London. Rebecca is known for work that draws on a mixture of slapstick and deadpan comedy and the absurd. She is interested in how awkwardness can invite empathy, and how a fallible, open subject could suggest a resistant position against powerful systems. Her work responds to landscapes, including wild, rural and urban, from a feminist perspective. She is especially interested in how humorous interventions can speak to power. Rebecca has a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Art and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. She also has done a  Constellations programme, exploring the expanded field of public art, with UP Projects, Flat Time House and Liverpool Biennial * She has been nominated for a number of prestigious awards and commissions some of those include Thames Estuary Festival, commissioned psychogeographic walk by Metal Culture UK * 2021 - Nomination for The Arts Foundation Award for Visual Art * 2020 - Nomination to propose an artwork for The High Line Plinth, New York * 2019 - Nomination for Paul Hamlyn Award * 2019 - PEER Notices commissioned artist, PEER Gallery, Hoxton, London
