Beau W Beakhouse is an artist and writer based in Wales. Their installations combine sculptural wood and metalwork with text, audio, film and performance to consider the relation between labour, ecology, colonialism and language. In their science-fiction writing, traditional craft and industrial manufacture converge with speculative technology and new forms of communication to create uneasy worlds of power and possibility. They also have a collaborative practice with Sadia Pineda Hameed.
Recently they have shown with The Mosaic Rooms, Catalyst Arts, The Crypt Gallery, Chapter, g39, Glynn Vivian, MOSTYN and Peak Cymru. Residencies have included Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto, Centrum Kultury ZAMEK, Tangent Projects, Literature Wales and Jerwood UNITe. They have published or written for Art UK, Elephant Magazine, Freelands, Burning House Press, Porridge and Lucent Dreaming amongst others. They were awarded the British School at Rome Fellowship 2023 and the Freelands Fellowship 2022-24, as well as the Jerwood Staging Series and Jerwood New Work Fund 2023.
