PORTFOLIO
Aisling McCoy – Futures Artist

Aisling McCoy joined the Belfast Exposed ‘Futures Artists’ programme in 2016 and produced a solo exhibition ‘THF‘. Since then, Aisling has gained several awards and exhibitions.

Aisling McCoy is an Irish visual artist whose work looks at how we inhabit space. Her background as an architect is central to her practice, which investigates the conflict between architecture as an intellectual concept, created through images, and its translation into built form. She’s particularly interested in the ideological aspect of inhabitation and the role of both architecture and photography in constructing the ideal.

A graduate of the MFA Photography programme at the Belfast School of Art, Aisling’s work has been exhibited internationally. Since showing her work at Belfast Exposed as part of the ‘Futures Artists’ programme, she has been the recipient of the Arts Council of Ireland Next Generation Award, TBG+S Project Studio Award, and Institut Français Cité Internationale des Arts residency award. She has been a selected artist at PhotoIreland New Irish Works II and III, a Futures Talent at Unseen Amsterdam, shortlisted for the Kassel Photobook Festival Dummy Award and nominated for the Prix Pictet.
