Gill Park
Director, Pavilion
Gill is director of Pavilion, a commissioning organisation based in Leeds that deals with contemporary art and its politics. Through an exploratory process of research and discussion, Pavilion produces new work with artists that materialise across diverse sites and locations. Its recent programme includes new work by Lucy Skaer, Aurelien Froment, Celine Condorelli and Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc. Gill has a particular interest in art’s relationship to feminist and postcolonial critique. In an independent capacity she has co-curated (with Dr Amy Charlesworth) ‘A Thing Like You and Me’, a screening programme exploring the relationship of the documentary ‘real’ and essayistic ‘fiction’ in contemporary artist video work, with work by Boudry and Lorenz, The Otolith Group, Ursula Biemann and Maria Ruido.
