Charlie Murphy is an artist currently based in London, UK, whose work includes photography, sculpture, video and participatory events. Her work has been presented at the Venice Biennale 2005, the Edinburgh Festival 2006,^[1] and in galleries and museums including Tate Modern 2007, London’s Science Museum and The Science Gallery, Dublin. She is based at ACAVA Studios in London and has been an ArtSway Artist Associate since 2003.^[2]^[3]

Life

She graduated from the Royal College of Art, with an MA in Fine Art (Photography) in 1999. She is best known for her work exploring intimacy, sexuality, and the competitive aspects of human nature. Through photographic, performative, and sculptural processes, video, installations, and live art events, several contexts in which a variety of people are invited to perform are created. Murphy's catalog of artistic works encompasses sensual and territorial behaviors, including the rituals and customs of rural and domestic life.

Recurrent materials in her practice include glass, light, fibre-optics, photographic papers and emulsions, latex and ribbons. Certain aspects of her practice involve the participation of a large number of people.

Murphy lectures in photography at Kingston University, the University of Gloucester Archived 2018-03-05 at the Wayback Machine, the Arts University College at Bournemouth, and the University of East Anglia.

Works

Murphy and her assistants invite couples, friends, and strangers to kiss for 90 seconds while a dental alginate sets in their mouths. These casts are then turned into glass sculptures through a series of positive and negative mold-making processes. The kiss-in events toured a number of both national and international venues.^[5]
