Matterlurgy (Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright) are a collaborative artist duo based in London, UK.
Their work explores how environments and ecologies emerge across scales, senses, technologies and infrastructures. Projects have investigated water health, air pollution, flooding and ocean modelling. Their practice involves the development of cross-disciplinary field methods with scientists and members of the public. These methods offer collaborative ways of engaging with changing environments and act as creative catalysts for artworks.
Matterlurgy were UK Artist Associates for the Art, Technology, Society programme at Delfina Foundation and received a nomination for the Paul Hamlyn Awards for Visual Artists. Their artworks have been exhibited internationally at Wellcome Collection, Onassis Stegi, Arts Catalyst, Tate Modern, Bòlit Contemporary Arts Centre, Whitechapel Gallery, Medialab Matadero, ICA, John Hansard Gallery, The Showroom Gallery, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, Titanik Gallery and LABoreal. Featured press includes The Guardian and Art Monthly; articles about their work can be found in Third Text and Technoetic Arts, with chapters published by the University of Minnesota Press.
