Biography
Judy Rabinowitz Price is a London-based artist whose research-led practice encompasses photography, moving images and sound, composed as single-screen works and multiscreen installations. Often drawing on images and sounds from archival sources as well as the sustained study of a place through networks, collaborations and activism, she is interested in how art can reveal the multiple histories and redrawn boundaries of contested sites and engage with collective struggles and the resilience of those that endure them.
Palestine was an enduring focus of her work between 2004-2017 resulting in two major bodies of work Within This Narrow Strip of Land (2008) and Quarries of Wandering Form (2017). Her seminal film White Oil (2017) has been exhibited and screened extensively and explores the quarries in the Occupied Palestinian Territories to unfold narratives around colonialism, expropriation of land and mobility through the day-to-day lives of the quarry owners, workers and security guards. She was awarded a practice-based PhD from the University of Creative Arts (2014) for her thesis White Oil, Excavations and the Disappearance of the West Bank and long-form film White Oil which focuses on the quarries in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Recently, Price has been working on two research projects: The End of a Sentence and Architecture of the Bush. The End of a Sentence examines the impact of the criminal justice system on women in the UK, specifically through the lens of HMS Holloway which was decommissioned in 2016. Architecture of the Bush explores the spatial politics and ecology of human and non-human relationships in the Kruger National Park (KNP) in Limpopo province, South Africa.
Price’s work has been shown internationally with solo exhibitions at: Stanley Picker Gallery, London, Mosaic Rooms, London, Danielle Arnaud Gallery, London, Wingsford Arts, Suffolk, Stiftelsen 3,14 and USF Centre, Bergen, Norway. Group exhibitions and screenings include: Am Flutgraben 3, Berlin, Wonder Cabinet, Bethlehem, Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol, Qattan foundation, Ramallah, Palestinian Film Week, Cinema Akil, Dubai, Delfina Foundation, Imperial War Museum, Barbican, Curzon Cinema Soho, Curzon Cinema Goldsmiths, ICA, Whitechapel Gallery, City Hall, Purcell Rooms at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Tatton Biennale, Manchester, Cambridge Film festival and SIEMENS Part B2 VVI 23, Tent Gallery, Edinburgh, Galerie Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Montreal, Kunshaus, Cinema, Nürnberg, Ken Saro-Wiwa Foundation, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Khalil Sakakini Cultural, Centre, Birzeit University Museum, Riwaq, Centre for Architectural Conservation Ramallah, Campus in Camps, Dheisheh Refugee Camp and Dar Annadwa Cultural Centre, Bethlehem and Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art, Jerusalem amongst others.
