GERALDINE PILGRIM

Home

Geraldine Pilgrim is a director, designer and installation artist. She is also artistic director of Corridor, a performance company she set up in 2000 to create site-specific events often working in collaboration with young people, older people and arts and community groups.

Her particular site work specialises in installations and performances in unusual buildings and landscapes where the architecture of the site is used as inspiration and narrative, gradually revealing memories and atmospheres that have built up over the years. Geraldine also works with the history – imagined and real – of a space; like the peeling away of different layers of wallpaper to release the ghost of a building’s past whilst being aware of its present condition and dreaming of its future.

Geraldine trained as a fine artist and theatre designer. She co-founded and became artistic director of Hesitate and Demonstrate, the influential visual theatre company, and has since been making installations, theatre performances and large scale site-specific events.

Geraldine is an Artsadmin artist, an honorary associate of the National Review of Live Art, an associate lecturer at Wimbledon College of Art and visiting lecturer at Central St. Martins, Goldsmiths College and LAMDA.

Geraldine runs courses and workshops for emerging and established arts practitioners and has led both summer and winter schools throughout Europe.
