As an international, interdisciplinary Artist, Hirsk repositions sculpture as critical socio-spatial practice, to explore the interrelationship between encounter, performativity, photography, and materiality within the public sphere, as live organism, fluid and entangled, and as a source of often marginalised narratives, experiences and imaginaries. From Northern Ireland, based in Sweden, works are contextualised against conflict histories, geo-politics and hybrid identities, to prioritise cross-cultural, ethical and imaginative counter-methodologies with potential to affect change, even within small-scale contexts. With an exhibition, research and project portfolio across Europe, USA and UK, Hirsk gained her M.A. Fine Art in 2004, followed by a more socially-engaged post-grad. in Art Education from Liverpool John Moores, in 2007. Recent works favour hybrid, interventionist formats, that propose site-body-sculpture as more-than monument, as in the Grief Cartographies, part of the pan-European Woven Network Nordics Residency, exhibited at Studio 44, Stockholm, SE, 2021, and the Postures (Non/Acceptance) series, exhibited as part of Du Bist am Zug, Berlin, DE, 2022. With the thematic focus of ‘Gender and Space’, Hirsk’s site-relational sculptures and film titled (In)Mura, 2021, for MAXXI, Italy, mediated contested architectural anatomies at Långholmens Spinnhuset’ (Women’s Prison, 1649-1825), Stockholm, and was exhibited as part of ‘Bueno Nuova’ touring exhibition, 2022-2023, across Rome, IT, Stockholm, SE and Doha, QA.
