About Emily Roysdon
Future Generation Art Prize: “Emily Roysdon was born in 1977 in Easton (Maryland), USA. She lives and works in New York and Stockholm. Roysdon completed the Whitney Museum Independent Study Programme in 2001 and an MFA at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2006. She has received grants from Art Matters (2008), Franklin Furnace (2009) and the Rhema Hort Mann Foundation (2010). For six months in 2008 she was a resident at the International Artists Studio Programme in Stockholm, Sweden. Roysdon’s work has been exhibited internationally at New Museum, New York (2009), Konsthall C, Stockholm (2010), Tate Modern, London, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2012). (…)
For the PinchukArtCentre Royson has created a new installation, a combination of photography, sound and film. The work starts from a choreography that explores how a single movement can develop itself, and how the space in which movements unfold defines the interpretation of a work.”
In 2001 Emily Roysdon founded the LLTR together with Ginger Brooks Takahashi and K8 Hardy. LTTR is a feminist genderqueer artist collective with a flexible project oriented practice. LTTR produced an annual independent art journal, performance series, events, screenings and collaborations. Documentation of the collective’s work is available at the online archive of LLTR.
