Zoe Mendelson

Mendelson has exhibited widely showing works, performing and publishing, nationally and internationally - largely in public spaces, including Science Museum, London (2018), Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris (2005) and Chapter Centre for Contemporary Arts in Cardiff (2006).

Zoë's research engages disorder as a culturally produced phenomenon, in parallel to its clinical counterpart, suggesting its value to knowledge production within Fine Art and critical theory.

Her PhD, at Central Saint Martins, was titled ‘Psychologies and Spaces of Accumulation: The hoard as collagist methodology (and other stories)’.

This research locates and spatialises systematised archiving alongside seemingly pathological object relations, and includes relationships drawn between urban space and wellness.

Titled The Envelope Machine which referenced advances in postal technologies at the time of the 1851 Great Exhibition in London and operated as a hand drawn, and ultimately unrequited, version of Outlook Express.
