Anneli Holmstrom

Born:1985
Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh based artist

Holmstrom's deliberatley D.I.Y approach to performance and painting hides nothing of the author's hand; archiving various ambiguous stagings, with hints of everything from anthropological films, sixties happenings and playground games.

Anneli Holmstrom graduated with a Masters from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009 and now lives and works in Edinburgh.

During her time at ECA she has participated in the first triannualr POLARCAP exhibition "You Do Voodoo" at the Barnes Studios in East Lothian in 2007. From 2007- 2009 whilst attaining her Masters at ECA she has shown at The RSA, The Corn Exchange, The Embassy and most recently at the John David Mooney Foundation in Chicago during a three week artist residency.

Since graduating Holmstrom has shown with the Audio Arts company as part of the Venice Agenda's at the Venice Benice Biennale 2009 where she exhibited a performance sound piece now archived in the TateModern.

Holmstrom was then comissioned by the Glasgow based artistcollective 'NowNow'to make a performance for the annual Huntly Hairst festival which was completed in November.

Currently Holmstrom is collaborating with the artist Jessie Makinson on an on going exhibition entitled the Pessoa Project. The Pessoa Project has exhibited their first show in London at the Bear Gallery in July, and are now seeking funding to promote this show internationally.
