Andy Field is an artist, writer and curator based in London.
Andy creates formally unusual projects that invite us to consider our relationships both to the spaces we inhabit and the people around us. Over the last decade this has manifested itself across a range of forms and disciplines, including street games, event scores, installations, interactive encounters, studio theatre shows and one-to-one performances.
Andy’s work has been presented by organisations including The Natural History Museum (London), BIOS (Athens), Festival of Live Art (Melbourne), PuSh Festival (Vancouver), Abrons Arts Centre (New York), Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Fusebox Festival (Austin), Terni Festival (Terni), Wellcome Collection (London), New Visions Festival (Hong Kong), The Times Museum (Guangzhou), 1933 Contemporary (Shanghai), Festival:Bom (Seoul), Q Theatre (Auckland) and DCAF Festival (Cairo).
Alongside his artistic practice Andy has written for a number of publications including the Guardian, Contemporary Theatre Review, This Is Tomorrow, The Stage and Exeunt magazine. His writing has been included in collections including Programme Notes: Case Studies in experimental theatre (2013) Audience Revolution: Dispatches from the Field (2016) and Imagined Theatres: Writing for a Theoretical Stage (2017). He is co-author Maddy Costa of Performance in an Age of Precarity (Methuen Drama, 2021) and the author of Encounterism (September, 2023).
Andy is the co-director of the award-winning artist-led project Forest Fringe. In 2012 he completed a practice-based PhD with the University of Exeter, exploring the use of public space in the New York avant-garde performance movements of 1960s and 70s.
