  • About the artist
    Hannah Quinlan works together with Rosie Hastings as an artist and as life partners. Their practice includes film, drawing, installation and performance. Their work often explores feminist and LGBTQ+ culture in the Western context, exploring how this is reflective of broader societal structures. Both artists were born in 1991 in Newcastle, going on to graduate with a BFA from Goldsmiths College in London in 2014. Solo exhibitions of their work have been held at institutions including The Box, Plymouth (2023); Tate Britain (Art Now, 2022); Mostyn, Llandudno, Wales; and Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea (2020); Two Queens, Leicester and Queer Thoughts, New York (2018); and The 15th Venice Architecture Biennale (2016). Group exhibitions with the work have been held at institutions including Herbert Art Gallery, Coventry (2023); Centre national d'Art Contemporain, Grenoble, France (2022); Pinchuk Art Centre, Kiev, Ukraine (2021); Whitechapel Gallery, London (online in 2020); Fondazione Muisei Civici di Venezia, Venice, Italy; and Hayward Gallery, London (2019); and at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Italy(2018). They won the Jarman Award in 2020.
