Michelle Hannah is an artist, writer and performer based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work forms part of an ongoing practice-based research enquiry into queer dystopian conditions, operating across disembodied sound, post-photography, speculative writing, moving image and vocal performance. Through the use of noise and digital residue across sound, text and image, they employ degradation as both material process and critical method, generating unstable documents that interrogate narrative, authorship and mediation. Current research engages dark forest theory and parapsychology in relation to class identity and mediated violence, using them as frameworks for examining collapse, ruin and futurity. They have exhibited and performed at Talbot Rice Gallery Edinburgh, HOME Manchester, CGP London, ZKU Berlin, CCA Glasgow, Central St Martins London, DCA Dundee, BALTIC Newcastle, Minsheung Art Museum Shanghai, Baltic Newcastle, Artlicks London, Tyneside Cinema Newcastle, Women's Library Glasgow, Suttie Arts Aberdeen, GOMA Glasgow, The Royal Standard Liverpool, ESW Edinburgh, Stills Gallery Edinburgh, The Cooper Gallery Dundee, Dresden Film Festival, TULCA Festival Galway, CAC Edinburgh and curated events for the Glasgow Film Festival. Presented at the ‘Grace Jones Symposium’ at Edinburgh University (2017) and was a Visiting Lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art. In 2013 they were shortlisted for the Margaret Tait Award and received the Creative Scotland Openfund to produce a solo performance and exhibition ‘KEENER’ at Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts (2018). Recently they performed as part of the British Art Network symposium from Tate and the Paul Mellon Centre and Working Class-ness as Method conference co-convened by Beth Hughes and Maria Fusco.
