Gemma Jones

Gemma Jones (b.1995) is a performance-based maker whose work oscillates across visual art and live art.

Her practice explores the limitations and external possibilities of the body; in a bid to rethink how time, space, and language is felt, visualised, and performed. Interested in the absence and the presence of the performer as well as the documentation of and preservation of liveness, Gemma’s work explores themes of posthumanism, materiality, care, community, and ableism- whilst discovering new ways to explore and question visual art, performance, and society.

Her work has been performed at Stryx Gallery & Vivid Projects (Birmingham) Asylum Gallery (Wolverhampton) Enclave Projects (London) PTTH:// Gallery (Luzern) and the following festivals: Disorder live art Festival (Wolverhampton) Spill yer Tea (Liverpool)and Stereoskop Performance Art festival, Civic House (Glasgow).

Gemma is a graduate of B.A (Hons) Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art and a former Committee Member at Embassy Gallery, Edinburgh.
