S McEvoy (b. 1987, IE/DK, they) is an artist who works with sound, video, sculpture, writing and performance. They interrogate categories such as sensation, affect and embodiment, and investigate how they intersect with and co-constitute ongoing processes of power relations. With a practice rooted in the intuitive exploration of sonic materiality and writing as artistic research, they trace sound manifested as an unfolding formation, at once a sensory field, cultural construction, artistic medium and process in its own right.
They have exhibited and performed at spaces including Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Café OTO, Fylkingen, and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Recent works include the performance installation “Sonic Romanticism” at Centrale Fies and “Silent Shout” at the 2024 Spring Exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. They graduated from the Dutch Art Institute MA in Art Praxis in 2024, where they wrote the thesis “Sonic Romanticism” under Ana Teixeira Pinto.
Alongside their artistic practice, they contribute to educational and collaborative sound-based initiatives, working as a sound consultant for artists and institutions across Europe. They have led a variety of seminars, workshops and courses in the field of the sonic arts for BFA and MFA students. They have held residencies at institutions like Struer Sound Art Lab and EMS Elektronmusikstudion.
