Amy Kim Grogan (b. 1994, Glasgow) is completing an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art this year. She previously graduated with a BA (Hons) in Sculpture and Environmental Art from the Glasgow School of Art in 2017.

In 2015 she spent a semester abroad studying at Bergen Academy of Art and Design and subsequently had a solo show in Bergen (2017) titled ‘The Garden Party’. Recent exhibitions include Everything Must Go (Glasgow, 2022), Hidden Door Festival (Edinburgh, 2021), Glasgow Open House (Glasgow, 2021) and Knicknackered (Edinburgh, 2021).

Public Art exhibits include site specific work produced for Drumchapel Table Tennis Club and South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, both presented in 2021. Throughout the MFA she has produced two publications; a miniature catalogue titled ‘Exhibition Series for Mice’ and a regular sized book ‘How to Plan, Plonk + Participate Public Art’.

My work regularly stems from disrupting and/or emphasising overlooked objects and acts – all arise from a fundamental interest or an occasional discomfort on my behalf. I have continually been creating sculptures since 2012, creating my first gigantic work in 2014. Since, I have revelled in the creation of large pieces. I relay my curiosity through increased scale, multiples and material. Collectively, all pieces exert absurdity and often humour.
