Owain Train McGilvary is a Welsh artist working with video, drawing, collage and painting. His projects pay particularly close attention to working within existing archives and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Previously he has worked with amateur wrestlers, drag queens, genderqueer punk musicians, translators, writers and poets to develop collaborative, multilingual installations that combine moving image essays with cut-and-paste collage interventions. His video works tend to embrace a lo-fi, experimental approach to shooting and editing, favouring handheld footage, abrupt montage and glitched images. This formal vocabulary allows the work to remain porous, reflecting process, rumour and misremembering, rather than the compliance of cinematic polish.
