Invisible Flock

Description

Invisible Flock are multi-award winning artists, based at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK. Led by artists Victoria Pratt and Ben Eaton and was founded in 2009.

Their practice fuses technology and natural materials collaborating with environments and communities to form layered understandings of place. They place artworks in nature, in galleries and museums, in digital and public spaces, in print and out at sea. They work across sectors to have a creative impact on ecology, politics, health and society.

Invisible Flock are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Their work has been exhibited at Wellcome Collection, Brighton Festival, COP27 and COP28 with the World Health Organisation, Karachi Biennale, British Library, FACT Liverpool, The Sage Gateshead, Qatar Museums, Victoria & Albert Museum, Vooruit Ghent, Saint Sauveur Lille and MIMA amongst many others.

In 2021 Invisible Flock received the Wellcome Trust Hub Award to lead Land Body Ecologies (LBE). Land Body Ecologies is a global collective of artists, expert communities, researchers, Indigenous leaders, designers, conservationists, technologists and activists together exploring the deep connections between mental health and ecosystem health.

The studio also runs an annual artist residency and a fabrication workshop, including a Bio-Art-Lab for practices working with biological and living material.
