+/-/-/-/-/-\>>>
Tyler Mallison (*1975 USA, UK) is a London-based multidisciplinary artist and painter. With an interest in the notion of potential and questions of agency and logic, his work engages with an iterative process of 'making sense of things'—combining research into emerging societal, economic and technological narratives with hands-on material exploration and imaginative speculation. Subjects are fluid and often personal, creating traces of complex thought through multi-referential objects that challenge perception(s) and invite moments of pause.
Mallison’s work has featured in exhibitions at SPACE Mare Street, London; A.P.T Gallery, London; Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge; Eastside Projects, Birmingham; Royal Academy of Arts; Barbican Arts Group Trust; Plattenpalast Berlin; HMKV, Dortmund; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; and Collectors Agenda, ARCOmadrid. Past residencies include Autocenter Contemporary Art Berlin, Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV), and Guest Projects London. He holds an interdisciplinary MA from Central Saint Martins and BA in Chemistry from Northwestern University, in addition to completing AltMFAs with Turps Art School (painting) and nationally selected ‘Syllabus’.
