Edi McGurk

About
Edi McGurk is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice focuses on care and intimacy, crip time and crip community, and access and solidarity. They are based in Essex and London. Most of the time they’re based in their bed. 

They predominantly work with bedsheets, pillows, notebooks, audiovisual equipment they’ve found on online auctions, and conversations. Their practice is political and collaborative - spanning installations and textiles, writing and print, photography and moving image, and sound and performance. With a background in facilitation and community engagement, Edi centres spaciousness, process, and engagement in their work. 

Edi is currently working on an MRes at the Royal College of Art (2025-2027), supported by scholarship funding from the RCA, engaging in practice-led research exploring crip as method and the disruptive and generative potential of the practices of sick and disabled artists. They are also currently part of safe + sound school’s creative short form audio course for 2026. They previously took part in The Other MA alternative art school in Southend (2022-2024).
