Genevieve Pikó is a Melbourne based artist working predominantly in video installation, using appropriated footage to explore ideas of gender, memory, time and trauma. Pikó takes a painterly attitude to the digital, embracing the ‘glitch’. Viewing television and film as a repository of collective memory, screening and looping is used to subvert narrative expectations, to symbolically represent mental fragmentation and decay.
Pikó completed her Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) (First Class) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2015 for which she received the Vice-Chancellor List Award. She has shown works in galleries such as Blindside ARI, Kings ARI and Rubicon ARI.
Genevieve Pikó would like to acknowledging the traditional owners and custodians of the stolen land on which she lives and works, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
