Staff (born 1987 in Bognor Regis, UK) is a contemporary visual and performance artist.Early life and education[edit]P. Staff was born in 1987 in Bognor Regis, UK. They studied art at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating in 2009. They also participated in the Associate Artist Programme at LUX, London in 2011.[1] They are currently based in Los Angeles, California and London, UK.[2]Staff makes film installations, performance art, and new media works.Writer and filmmaker Juliet Jacques describes Staff’s site-specific exhibition at the Serpentine Galleries, \u201cOn Venus,\u201d as the following: \u00a0\u201cStaff\u2019s site-specific exhibition at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, \u2018On Venus\u2019, deals with biopolitics, looking at the ways in which exchanges between bodies, ecosystems and institutions affect human consciousness and behaviours \u2013 especially for queer, trans and non-binary people. A new video work, also entitled On Venus, features two sections: the first presents warped archival footage of industrial farming for the production of meat, fur and hormones;\u00a0 the second features a poem about life on the uninhabitable planet Venus, conjuring a state of near-death that has parallels with trying to survive as a queer person in a heteronormative world. The surrounding installation impinges on the gallery itself, confronting entrants with a gargoyle weathered by acidic rain, a symbol of the worsening climate crisis, harshly lit against a reflective floor. The defamiliarizing effect of Staff’s intervention rubs up against the history of the building, which was originally used as a gunpowder store. Pipes suspended from the ceiling leak acid into steel barrels, at once evoking chemical corrosion, the sharing of bodily fluids, and the uncontrollable, networked spread of viruses and data.\u201d[3]Elizabeth Karp-Evans writes:\u201cStaff\u2019s work also seeks to address the ecological and industrial relationships that societies have become dependent on; the question of how technology and capitalist-driven consumption have changed our biological constitution is one they are interested in answering. \u201cWe\u2019re in a moment of reckoning with the irreversible effects of contemporary biopolitics,\u201d Staff says. In 2017, they created the video installation Weed Killer, commissioned by MOCA in Los Angeles. The piece examines the complexities of treatments like chemotherapy\u2014a poison used as a cure. \u201cIt feels like everything channels through the body at the moment\u2014the opioid crisis, our economic collapse. We have to reckon with these things through what passes through us,\u201d says Staff. \u201cI\u2019m not interested in physical purity but I am interested in what I am a conduit for, and leading with that type of somatic inquiry.\u201d\u201d[4]Awards and fellowships[edit]Staff is the recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Visual Artists (2015), the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award (2019) and has held residencies at FD13 Residency for the Arts (2018), LUX (2014), The Showroom (2014), Fogo Island Arts (2012), and Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (2010).[5]Selected exhibitions[edit]Staff has had solo exhibitions at Serpentine Galleries, London (2019);[6]Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2019);[7] Dundee Contemporary Arts, Scotland (2019); LUMA Westbau, Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland (2019); Collective Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland (2017); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2017);[8] Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, Canada (2016); Chisenhale Gallery, London, UK (2015); The Showroom Gallery, London, UK (2014); and Monte Vista Projects, Los Angeles (2012).Group exhibitions featuring work by Staff have been held at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN (2019); ICA London, UK (2019); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018);[9] New Museum, New York (2017);[10] Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (2016); Serpentine Galleries, London, UK (2015); Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo, Norway (2014); Maison Populaire, Paris, France (2012); and Whitstable Biennale, UK (2012).
