Joanna Hutton is a visual artist and researcher who works across several disciplines, including installation, sculpture, performance and video. Transient inter-media work combines the domestic with light industrial, with both process and material being inherently important. Experiments are cannibalised from accessible equipment. Performance, or activity, often occurs as she proposes situations for which the outcome is uncertain, so there is an obsessive interference, a prodding, an inability to leave things to run their course. Nudging. Adjusting. Defining. Set within a political framework, her concerns relating to societal responsibility are evident, with networks and communication and the passage of time recurring motifs.
After completing an MFA in 2015 at BxNU Institute of Contemporary Art (a partnership between BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and Northumbria University) Hutton continues to research and exhibit her work.
Hutton lives and works in Northumberland, UK and exhibits both nationally and internationally. Selected projects include her performance at Encounter #38 with Mariel Carranza et al in Los Angeles, USA. She co-curated several exhibitions with Neon Arts including INHABIT, a Performance Art Project Week where 23 performances by 13 artists occurred in abandoned or unusual premises in Hexham, Northumberland. She was an exhibiting artist at Still (the) Barbarians, EVA International, Limerick City, Ireland, curated by Koyo Kouoh and participated in Bbeyond Belfast's Being (in) Public - Encounters: Outer Place | Inner Space in Belfast and maintains performance relationships with other artists through the periodic Equinox events.
