She is currently based in Brighton, UK.&nbsp; After studying architecture, Katy has practiced as an artist since 2004, combining art and spatial practice to make artworks in the public realm as well as exhibiting in galleries, festivals and biennales in the UK and internationally. Recent projects and commissions include Re-Enchanted for Walk The Chalk Festival (2024),&nbsp;Acts of Transfer (with Lizzie Lloyd), funded by Arts Council England (2021-22), Films A Difficult Place (2023) and&nbsp;2 Metre Conversations (2020) (with John Edwards), commissioned by Phoenix Art Space,&nbsp;Hybrid, a permanent public art work in Braintree, Essex (2022), and Saltways, commissioned by the Canal &amp; River Trust (2018). Recent exhibitions and screenings include The Power of Residents (2024, Komedia),&nbsp;Wriggle Room: Open Studio (2023) at Towner Eastbourne (with Lydia Hunt, part of a residency 2022-24),&nbsp;Correspondences (with Rebecca Beinart) at the Jewish Museum London (2021) and Five Years London (2020). She has worked in arts education for over 20 years and has recently completed a 2 year residency with Towner Eastbourne’s early years programme. She uses processes of archival research, participatory research and social practice to respond to the context and history of places, and her work examines relationships between heritage, history and memory, culture and environment, performance and ritual, migration and home. She draws on past and present material cultures in her projects, often adapting old technologies and industrial processes, found objects and everyday activities and rituals. She is interested in forms of mapping and psychogeography that rethink our relationship to place. &nbsp;Her work aims to reveal and question pasts, and ask how these belong in the present circumstances of places, and might shape their futures. In this sense she is interested in memory as a practice that is active and alive. Katy is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Brighton, a Fine Art Tutor for Open College of the Arts (part of the Open University) and is a board member of Ixia, a public art support organisation. https://www.axisweb.org/p/katybeinart/ https://vimeo.com/user5128191 Contact CV (selected recent) CV (link to full CV pdf version) Commissions and Projects2022-2024: Wriggle Room, artists residency at Towner Eastbourne (with Lydia Hunt) 2023: A Difficult Place, film made as part of Ignite 3.1 funded project&nbsp;(with John Edwards) 2021-22:&nbsp;Acts of Transfer (with Lizzie Lloyd) – funded by ACE, UWE and University of Brighton 2020:&nbsp;2m Conversations film project, Phoenix Art Space, Brighton (with John Edwards) 2019-21: Hybrid, Meadow Rise Braintree Public Art Commission 2017-18: The Ring, Public Art Commission, Canal &amp; River Trust, Worcestershire 2016-18:&nbsp;Making Suburban Faith, University College London – resident artist for AHRC funded project 2015-16:&nbsp;Brixton Museum &amp; Brixton Conversations, London (with Kate Theophilus) - funded by Arts Council England 2015:&nbsp;Imagined Geographies, National Trust, Biddulph Grange Garden (with Rebecca Beinart) 2008-ongoing: Origination (with Rebecca Beinart) &nbsp; Exhibitions &amp; Screenings &amp; Events 2025: Intereligious Encounters and Creative Practice, University of Edinburgh 2025: SMART Sheds, Sussex2025: Accelerate Action, The Foundry, London 2024:&nbsp; The Power of Residents, Screening &amp; Q &amp; A, Dukes at Komedia, Brighton 2024:&nbsp; Salt Walk on the River Ouse (with Mia Taylor), for Walk this Way festival 2023:&nbsp; A Difficult Place, Screening and Q&amp;A Phoenix Art Space 2023: Re-Enchanted, installation and performance for Walk the Chalk festival 2023: Community Takeoever: A Seat at the Table, Phoenix Art Space (with John Edwards) 2023: Wriggle Room: Open Studio, Towner Eastbourne (with Lydia Hunt) 2022: Front Room Film: Acts of Transfer, Brighton CCA (Katy&nbsp;Beinart and Lizzie Lloyd) 2021: Correspondences, Katy &amp; Rebecca Beinart, Jewish Museum London 2021: Acts of Transfer, Katy Beinart and Lizzie Lloyd, Phoenix Art Space 2021: Community Takeover: Stories, Phoenix Brighton (with John Edwards) 2020: 2 Metre Conversations, Brighton Photo Fringe (with John Edwards) 2020: Correspondences, Five Years London (Katy &amp; Rebecca Beinart) 2018: The Fabric of Faith, Gunnersbury Park Museum, London 2018:&nbsp;My life is but a weaving, Tate Exchange, Tate Modern, London 2017: My life is but a weaving, St Thomas the Apostle/UCL, London 2016:&nbsp;Loves Lives and Loss,: Traces at Fenton House, National Trust, London 2016:&nbsp;Brixton Museum, Rebel Space Pavilion, Brixton Design Trail/London Design Festival 2015: Brixton Museum, Brixton Library/Lambeth Archives, London 2015: Brixton Conversations (screening), Ritzy Cinema, London and UCL UrbanLab, London Residencies 2024: Making Space residency, Fabrica (with Rebecca Beinart) 2023: Collective Conversations, Phoenix Art Space&nbsp; 2022-24: Artist In Residence, Wriggle Room, Towner Eastbourne Talks and workshops 2026: Writing Back in Time: Letters to Ancestors workshop, Coventry Biennial (with Rebecca Beinart) 2026: The Art of Informality, UCL (with Lizzie Lloyd) 2025: Associate Artists workshop, Devonshire Collective 2024: Flowing Streams book launch, conversation with Adelina Luft, Devonshire Collective 2024: The Power of Residents, hosted webinar event for Photo Fringe 2024 2024: Salty, workshop at Aarduork, Venice in partnership with NICHE, Universita Ca’Foscari 2024: Presentation for DISTERRA workshop, University of Edingburgh 2023/24: Talk and workshop for MA Art Education students, UCL 2023: Talk and discussion on social practice for IRAP students, Frank Mohr Institute, Groningen 2023: Structures of Community symposium, Brighton CCA (co-organised conference) 2022: Presentation at Connective Symposium, Fontys University, Tilburg, Netherlands 2022: Acts of Transfer talk with Lizzie Lloyd and Marianne Mulvey, Arnolfini Bristol 2022: Paper for Colonialism and Transgenerational Memory Workshop, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology 2022: Acts of Transfer: Sharing Social Practice Workshop, Towner Eastbourne 2022: Really Sayin’ Somethin’: socially engaged and participatory research in art, design &amp; architecture, Brighton CCA/University of Brighton (co-organised conference) 2022: Acts of Transfer Book Launch, with Sophie Hope and Lizzie Lloyd, Brighton CCA 2021: Correspondences: In Conversation, Jewish Museum London 2021: Salted Earth, talk as part of programme for SILT, Brighton CCA 2021: Correspondences symposium, Centre for Memory, Narrative and Histories, Uni.

The artworks celebrate the silk weaving industry that has shaped the development of Braintree as it is known today. The history of the town and the community can be traced through the development of the weaving and textile industry. The artworks represent the cards used in the jacquard looms and translation between pattern card and pattern. The ideas for patterns were developed in workshops using natural inks made from plants to print patterns based on local plants. The title, Hybrid, refers to both the mix of patterns from different parts of the world which are held in the archive, and to processes of growing plants. The sculptural works are created in the form of the jacquard loom cards which translate the pattern from process to completed pattern in the fabric. Made of steel which is shot blasted to give a stabilised ‘corten’ finish over time, as the cards weather the finish develops fully to give an even red-brown colour. They are positioned to form a fragmented sundial so that as the light passes through the punched design the shadows of the pattern are revealed on the path. The work was commissioned by Countryside Properties.

All that remains of Exceat on the site of the hill is a marker stone for the site of the church. In 1913, excavations revealed the footings of the church, thought to have been built in the 11th century.&nbsp; It is thought that the village was abandoned in the aftermath of the black death in the mid-late 1400s. Taking this now invisible history as a starting point, the installation Re-enchanted uses the plan of the church revealed through archeological surveys&nbsp; as an outline gradually filled in with found objects collected around Sussex shorelines and painted with chalk. On the evening of&nbsp; 24th September, The Brighton Early Music Festival Community Choir sang three pieces of plainchant from the Lewes Breviary. This music is contemporary with when Exceat was inhabited and the church in use. The audience were led up to the church site where the choir sang, following which the audience reconvened at the installation site in the Pump Barn for a reading by Alinah Azedah and a repeat of the songs. The work asks us to reconnect to multiple pasts, think about a different sense of time, and consider how future generations might encounter traces of our current existence. Re-enchanted film Re-enchanted&nbsp;was commissioned for Walk the Chalk Festival, 20th-24th September 2023, in the Pump Barn at Seven Sisters Country Park Visitor Centre, East Sussex. The documentation film was filmed and edited by Hugh FOx. <img width="11061" height="8736" width_o="11061" height_o="8736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e755d3b9264bb00ca9b8d2d0c5cfaf6ec608612c21e6c936827d291c5c6a6895/KATY-20.jpg" data-mid="192725461" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e755d3b9264bb00ca9b8d2d0c5cfaf6ec608612c21e6c936827d291c5c6a6895/KATY-20.jpg" /> <img width="10479" height="7432" width_o="10479" height_o="7432" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79d915ad0bd88463d25d0ab60bad9ea5f95c87924d2c886148629664a4564695/KATY-12.jpg" data-mid="192725460" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79d915ad0bd88463d25d0ab60bad9ea5f95c87924d2c886148629664a4564695/KATY-12.jpg" /><img width="6757" height="8398" width_o="6757" height_o="8398" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d47e61e51c003cd848ccbb86449e4c6455c8e4f0229225d972a6327caa554f8/KATY-42.jpg" data-mid="192725470" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d47e61e51c003cd848ccbb86449e4c6455c8e4f0229225d972a6327caa554f8/KATY-42.jpg" /><img width="10624" height="7432" width_o="10624" height_o="7432" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccf8f647536344d69e40163b773f98952db1cdbb85ccc8197f3c4be1cd71a2bd/KATY-38.jpg" data-mid="192725469" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccf8f647536344d69e40163b773f98952db1cdbb85ccc8197f3c4be1cd71a2bd/KATY-38.jpg" /> https://katybeinart.co.uk/Workshop-Salty-2024 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 14:00:57 +0000 katybeinart https://katybeinart.co.uk/Workshop-Salty-2024 Workshop: Salty, 2024 by Katy Beinart, Alessio Mazzaro, Catherine Bertola and Sophie Williamson 18th September 2024, Aarduork, Venice a workshop&nbsp;of artistic practices around salt by the Salt Research Network Conceived within a discussion for a future collaboration with NICHE (the New Insitiaute for the Environmental Humaities at the Univerista Ca’ Foscari), the workshop was a moment of practice in which the members of the Salt Research Network (Katy Beinart, Catherine Bertola, Alessio Mazzaro, Sophie Williamson) shared the engagement of their practice with salt. The participants experimented with evaporation pans and crystallization, collected salt water, shared stories of salt history and explored the fragility and impossibility of building with salt. The workshop started with a salt history walk led by Katy, followed by workshops led by Catherine and Alessio. We finished the day with a discussion prompted by a series of cards designed and written by Sophie.&nbsp; With thanks to Alberto and Pietro at Aarduork and all at NICHE.&nbsp; Discussion notes and images are below.&nbsp; How does salt seep in and seep through bodies? Immersion in the sea – being in a substance other than air Ukbekistan – it becoming part of your body Tears – compostion. Bodies as porous Traditions – salt under the pillow. Salt over the shoulder. Protective, purifying. How does salt build kin, human and non-human? Salt in electronic chips and batteries Swimming – sharing the sea with fish – exchange – going through our bodies Salt in food as a kind of relation Kinship between people and the lagoon – imposed kinship What does it mean to be salt? Salt of the earth Salty = stiff (Italian) Sticking to things, forming bonds Dissolving – reactive to the environment. Fluid. Fixed/changing. Migration and mobility Universal and necessary What is salt’s temporality? Does salt have a temporal plane? Deep roots No – it is constant No beginning or end Changes state Immortal Salt adapts to substances What is visible/not visible Is salt a community in itself or a tool to be used? Does it have its own agency? It reacts with its environment – it has agency. Rights – eg. Nature asking a question Is salt asking us a question? What is the question? Not an entity like a river or a forest, not geographically bounded.

Bringing together historical research and speculative fiction, artists Katy Beinart and Mia Taylor introduced historical research and short imaginary pieces at points along the walk to which walk participants were invited to respond, and to think about the landscape at points far in the past and future. At the end of the walk participants tasted salt made from the Ouse river water and took home a vial of Ouse salt.&nbsp; <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd52629d0935b0b2afc281fd4ee7f157bba768d93d10383b117d29323797a563/IMG_9292.JPG" data-mid="224285435" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd52629d0935b0b2afc281fd4ee7f157bba768d93d10383b117d29323797a563/IMG_9292.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9df1672c69f982169674437f0ae38a8c9c46046cb3bec77988e72c514d37687/IMG_9294.JPG" data-mid="224285436" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9df1672c69f982169674437f0ae38a8c9c46046cb3bec77988e72c514d37687/IMG_9294.JPG" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef6ca0fd7cf9ec3d096e9fa6acba6d280b3431388382c7ba35fecdfb470f0211/IMG_9295.JPG" data-mid="224285437" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef6ca0fd7cf9ec3d096e9fa6acba6d280b3431388382c7ba35fecdfb470f0211/IMG_9295.JPG" /> <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50c19e950fe413774e7944de066c0d64ee45bbde313f407dc9c960879eda669c/b1326ae2-2c41-449d-b4e2-10e2e1453930.JPG" data-mid="224285462" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50c19e950fe413774e7944de066c0d64ee45bbde313f407dc9c960879eda669c/b1326ae2-2c41-449d-b4e2-10e2e1453930.JPG" /> <img width="1855" height="2882" width_o="1855" height_o="2882" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/591764516e79dbb745a915bd8d0967e78cbf7fdcb319c4d72ef78503baecafd4/IMG_9288.jpg" data-mid="224285493" border="0" data-scale="54" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/591764516e79dbb745a915bd8d0967e78cbf7fdcb319c4d72ef78503baecafd4/IMG_9288.jpg" /> https://katybeinart.co.uk/Film-2-Metre-Conversations-2020 Tue, 12 Oct 2021 19:37:18 +0000 katybeinart https://katybeinart.co.uk/Film-2-Metre-Conversations-2020 Artwork: 2 Metre Conversations, 2020&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A series of short films by Katy Beinart and John Edwards made at the end of the first lockdown in 2020, which document people’s experience of the lockdown through conversations with a friend or neighbour at a 2 metre distance.
