Anita Ponton’s work is interdisciplinary, combining installation, sound and film. It has references to film and theatre as regards its visual component and conceptual framework. Trained as a painter and sculptor, Anita Ponton these days works principally in performance, situating her body as site, as process and as object. Her practice is currently concerned with the relationship of the body in performance to technology and to feminine representation. Educated at Central St. Martins School of Art and Goldsmiths College, Anita Ponton lives and works in London and is currently completing her doctorate in fine art. Her work has been exhibited/performed internationally, encompassing events and shows at the ICA London, the Venice Biennale and the Liljevalch Kunsthalle, Stockholm. She teaches at undergraduate and post-graduate level and curates performance events and exhibitions in unconventional places.
