Kira O’Reilly is a UK based artist whose practice, both wilfully interdisciplinary and entirely undisciplined, stems from a visual art background; it employs performance, biotechnical practices and writing with which to consider speculative reconfigurations of bodies. Since graduating from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff in 1998 in Fine Art, her performances have been exhibited widely throughout the UK, Europe, Australia, China and Mexico. In autumn 2010 she will begin an AHRC funded three year creative fellowship at Department of Drama, Queen Mary University of London; Thresholds of Performance: Between Body, Laboratory and Text.
