Artist and Stage Designer, Es Devlin’s work explores biodiversity, linguistic diversity and collective ai-generated poetry. She views the audience as a temporary society and encourages profound cognitive shifts by inviting public participation in communal choral works. Her canvas ranges from public sculptures and installations at Tate Modern, V&A, Serpentine, Imperial War Museum and United Nations General Assembly, to kinetic stage designs at the Royal Opera House, the National Theatre and the Metropolitan Opera, as well as Olympic ceremonies, Super-Bowl half-time shows, and monumental illuminated stage sculptures for Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Dr Dre, Kendrick Lamar and U2. She is the subject of a major new monographic book, An Atlas of Es Devlin, described by Thames & Hudson as their most intricate and sculpturalpublication to date, and a retrospective exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Museum of Design in New York. She was the first female designer of the UK pavilion at Expo 2020 and her practice was the subject of the Netflix documentary series Abstract: The Art of Design. She has been awarded the London Design Medal, three Olivier awards, a Tony award, an Ivor Novello award, Doctorates from the Universities of Bristol, Kent and the University of the Arts London as well as Royal Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts and CBE.Visit: https://EsDevlin.com/ and Follow @EsDevlinBuy Es Devlin's major new book An Atlas of Es Devlin at all good bookstores including Waterstone's.Published by Thames & Hudson: https://www.thamesandhudsonusa.com/books/an-atlas-of-es-devlin-hardcover Hosted on Acast.
