Rebecca Beinart.

Rebecca Beinart studied in Nottingham for 3 years. After she finished university she started working in education and in workshops. She then went to Devon to further her education by starting a course down in Devon. She then did different projects by photographing objects but then quickly moved onto life objects, such as nature and nettles. Rebecca was born in Oxford (1981) and lives in Nottingham. She studied a Bachelors of Arts at Nottingham Trent University (2003) and a Masters of Arts in Arts and Ecology at Dartington School of Art (2008). Rebecca's projects take the form of live events in public places, installations, and interventions, exploring the territory between art, ecology and politics. Her practice investigates places, and their inhabitants. Through repeated experiments in specific sites she seeks to interrupt her own assumptions about a place and understand perspectives she could not see alone. Rebecca's methodologies frequently involve working with others. Sometimes the people she works with are collaborators, partners in imagining and shaping the work from the beginning. Sometimes they accidentally come across her, and are conspirators or witnesses for the duration of an action. Rebecca co-founded the artists collective Yolk (2004) connecting artists from Nottingham twin cities. Since 2008, she has worked on Origination, an ongoing collaboration with her sister, artist Katy Beinart, that investigates migration, family history and place-making. She is currently working with Nottingham based collective the islanders as part of the wasteland twinning network.
