Anya Gallaccio creates site-specific installations, often using organic materials as her medium. Due to the nature of these materials, her works undergo natural processes of transformation and decay, often with unpredictable results. Gallaccio lives between London and San Diego. In 2024, she had a solo show at Turner Contemporary in Margate, UK, was awarded the commission for the first London Aids Memorial in 2024, and is currently a Kenneth Armitage Fellow, London (2023-2025). She is also Professor Emerita at UC San Diego.
