Louise Oates' research-led practice entwines industries, bodies, and planetary processes, whereby metabolisms coalesce into material narratives. Utilising aesthetics of archives, displays, and archaeological tools of measure to imbue a notion of authoritative knowledge, she continuously investigates the space between chaos and stasis, gesturing towards a reevaluation of human centrism and awaiting a reassembly in light of a new categorisation.

Oates’ work was previously exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, 2023-25); The Crypt Gallery (London, 2023 & 2022); Xxijra Hii (London, 2022), Saatchi Gallery (London, 2021 & 2020); Gossamer Fog (London, 2021); The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (2021); Ryerson Image Centre (Toronto, 2020); The Polygon Gallery (Vancouver, 2019); California Museum of Photography (2018); Whitechapel Gallery (2017) and the 57th Venice Biennale (2017), among others.
