Joshua Le Gallienne (born in 1985) is a non-binary British artist based in Brighton.[1] Working predominantly in sculpture, large-scale installation, and performance, Le Gallienne’s practice explores the materiality of sound within an artistic context. Their artworks have been exhibited internationally; at national institutions such as Ateneum[2] and Ö1,[3] and at major sonic arts festivals including Sonorities[4] and Wien Modern.[5]

In 2012, Le Gallienne began their Action Without Action project, which focuses on the production of acoustic sound without electronics or digital technologies.[6] Works from this series employ unconventional materials such as pyrotechnics, ice, compressed air, balloons, carbonated liquids, and biodegradable plastics to create sound and movement.[7]

Le Gallienne studied fine art at Hertford Regional College and later gained a degree in Digital Music & Sound Arts from the University of Brighton. Restraint, their graduate show sound installation, received the Burt Brill & Cardens Genius Prize in recognition of outstanding artistic achievement.[8] After graduating, Le Gallienne taught on the Digital Music & Sound Arts course between 2012 and 2020.[9]

Le Gallienne has received a number of awards, grants and accolades for their work; including the Francis Chagrin Award from Sound and Music in 2020[10] and the Sonic Arts Emerging Artist Exhibition Award from The Auxiliary in 2019. They have undertaken artist residencies in Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Luxembourg, and UK.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]
