Courtney Askey (b. 1995, Leicester) is a cross-disciplinary artist, musician and writer. Her research-based practice is currently centred on investigating how labour and the body co-exist within and inform the art making process. With this, she explores fiction, identity, technology as power and gender through an anti-capitalist and post-cyberfeminist lens. Her work questions what labour means in both a wider sense, and in the making of her own work.
Courtney’s most recent solo exhibition The Total Rebrand Retreat (May 2023) took place on Governors Island in New York after a three month residency with Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn (supported by Arts Council England funding). In June 2024 she completed a year long residency at Loughborough University as part of the AA2A programme. Previous solo shows include Certum Quod Factum (March 2022) and The Exposition – Introducing Hercy B, virtual exhibition (January 2021). She has exhibited in a number of group shows and completed commissions in collaboration with local organisations and institutions.
