Born in 1985. Lives and works in London.

 

A graduate of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art (Oxford University) and the Academy of Contemporary Music, Oliver Beer was the winner of the Saatchi Gallery’s New Sensations prize in London in 2009.

Since 2007, Oliver Beer has been experimenting with the interaction of space and the living world, of architecture and sound, with The Resonance Project. The human voice is used to stimulate architectural structures that resonate thanks to the vibrations of the voices, transforming the places into musical instruments. Oliver Beer’s practice is at the intersection of performance, sound installation, video and concert, questioning his surroundings in an original way.
