About

Katie Tindle is a contemporary artist, writer and educator living in London, originally from the North East of England. Tindle is a multidisciplinary artist, mostly working with multimedia installation and moving image work. Tindle’s recent work has been focussed on oral storytelling, community myths and hearsay, exploring ways of expressing connections to place and homecoming. In particular ‘Wyrm’ is an ongoing series of works exploring the myth of the Lambton Worm, a folk cryptid from her home town of Washington, in Sunderland. Tindle is using the story of the worm to investigate themes including wealth and power discrepancies within the area, notions of civic and personal responsibility, and community and friendship maintained through shared anecdotes. Tindle’s work also explores critical use of technology, combined with traditionally female coded/feminised craft practices and their role within the production of labour.

Tindle is also a founder member of the arts collective In-grid. In-grid is a trans*feminist collective of artists/educators/technologists working in and around digital infrastructures. In-grid has been working together since 2019, and is made up of a fluid group of people dispersed globally. Most recently, Tindle has been working on ServPub, a project developing alternative platforms for research and practice on computational publishing, to reflect collectively on affective infrastructures, minor tech and autonomous networks within, and beyond, institutional constraints.

Facilitating others’ work is also a large part of her practice, now largely achieved through the collective In-grid, but she has also curated under her own name and the pseudonym G.George, establishing the Listening Booth online sound archive and collaborating with artists and collectives such as ArtLacuna, 12o, KO projects, RadioAnti and isthisit? Gallery.

Tindle graduated from Central Saint Martins, UAL with a BA Hons in Fine Art, and holds a Masters Degree in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, UoL. She is currently a lecturer in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths.
