Anna Irina Russell (Barcelona, 1993)

Her artistic practice is based on the notion of game as a tool to investigate codes and forms of communication and interaction, trying to point out established social constructions. In both the actions and the interactive installations with which she works, there is a real-time and alive component that makes her understand the public not as an object but as an essential subject that becomes a part of the action. Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona (2015) in which she completed the Master in Sound Art (2018). She is one of the long-term resident artists in Hangar (2019-21), and part of the Radio Web Macba Working Group, where she started working from her project "The Coconut Effect" creating a sound archive for the radio. She has recently shown her work at “FEMINISMS!” at CCCB, as well as “Osmosi” at Cityart (Milan). She has also participated in SWAB 2019, in the oppening of Fundació Suñol new space, and has shown her work individually at the Museu Can Framis-Fundació Vilacasas during “La Nit dels Museus 2018”. She has participated in several artistic residencies such as GYCF 2019 in Jeju (South Korea), Reitir (Iceland) and Sketch'm Up (Marseille) and soon at Wysing Arts Centre (UK), always in collaborative and multidisciplinary projects.
