Erin Dickson

ISEA2024
Exploring ideas of home through language, culture, and vernacular architecture, Erin Dickson’s expansive practice engages tongue-in-cheek themes of ‘Britishness’, relating particularly to her birthplace in North East England. Working in the space between craft and digital manufacture, she works both physically and virtually, from processing data to create 3D models to developing systems of correspondence. Through humour, Dickson’s sculpture, video and installations soften deliberately provocative subject matter including British class systems, AI bias, intimacy, community, and isolation.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, most notably at Glasstress, a collateral event of the Venice Biennale, as well as at the Royal Academy of Arts, UK, BWA Wroclaw, Poland, and FACT Liverpool, UK. She has received international grants and awards including an Honorary Diploma from the Jutta Cuny Foundation, Germany, The Kyohei Fujita Memorial Prize from Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark, and a National Lottery Project Grant from Arts Council England.
