Mathilde Darmady
Duration
Mathilde Darmady is an artist ripped in half. One part of his feral soul lives in the Flows of the North where his ecological practice invests in community. He is working on a biodiversity project with NatureScot, rewilding landscape, flora, fauna and folk. Mathilde’s cosmopolitan half lies, queerly enough, in Glasgow. Drag, film, narrative and personae form the core of his work which explores conundrums in his mind. Mathilde locates power dynamics, as seen in ‘Guess what’, a game of fate and loss in landownership. Mathilde’s playful style reveals an intense desire to understand and be understood.
Cove Park is pleased to expand its partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland by offering a dedicated group residency in 2024 and 2025 for all graduating students of the Contemporary Performance Practice (CPP) programme.
From 2021-2023, Cove Park supported one recent CPP graduate each summer, providing space and time for creative development. Past residents include Sally Charlton, Nell O’Hara, and Margot Conde Arenas.
This group residency offers a unique opportunity for the final graduating cohorts of 2024 and 2025 to cultivate their artistic practices in a supportive and inspiring environment beyond the classroom. It complements their educational journey while providing an ideal bridge from student life to early career professional practice, encouraging confidence and creative growth at a pivotal moment in their development.
