Kerry Guinan is an artist researcher and postdoctoral fellow affiliated with the Centre for Art and Political Imaginary (CAPim) at the University of Gothenburg. Her interdisciplinary practice encompasses installation, performance, participatory art, and networked art, with a critical focus on the social spatial relations within globalized systems. Guinan's postdoctoral project, titled 'Sensing Scales Political Aesthetics,' investigates how artistic practices can conceptualize and render political phenomena comprehensible across extreme spatio-temporal scales, examining the dynamics of global production chains and international telecommunication networks. She earned her practice-based PhD from the Limerick School of Art and Design, part of the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS), where she developed a critical methodology influenced by Gothic Marxism, socially engaged art, and Brechtian theatre. Guinan is the author of 'Impact Instrumentalisation Art Dublin Property Market' (2016), a monograph published with the support of Fingal County Council, and was awarded the prestigious Generation Bursary Award from Arts Council Ireland in 2018 and 2019. She has also curated the TULCA Festival Visual Arts, Ireland's largest annual festival of contemporary visual art. Recent projects include 'Cosmic Debris' at the National Space Centre Greywood Arts and 'Apocalypse Anxieties,' a group exhibition she curated at Luan Gallery in response to local historical contexts.
