William Joys
William Joys channels characters which arouse suspicion about the endorsement of authenticity over ‘artificial’ construction.
He performs through layers of subterfuge, becoming an object which embodies the prop, the stage, the costume, in order to promote the art of actressing.
He has exhibited and performed at London Performance Studios, Café Oto, Bolding Gallery, Chemist Gallery, Glasgow International, Strangefield, Modern Institute, David Dale Gallery, UK. Kunsthalle Münster and Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Museum Ludwig, DE. MIT List Centre USA, MUMOK, Austria. He is a founding member of Villa Design Group & Sartre25.
