Pierce Starre (b.1984 Liverpool) is a UK based artist with a practice situated in performance. Pierce situates his personal experiences within a broader social and political context. His artworks provide the viewer with an opportunity to be immersed within an embodied experience, creating a platform for connection, reflection, and discussion. Pierce understands the capacity of performance art to engage the artist and the viewer in a transformative exchange both through the live performance of the work and through its documentation.

 

His previous work has explored his lived experience of being a Child of Deaf Adults and has critiqued the restrictive nature of institutional frameworks.

 

Pierce has recently established DRIP, an artist led platform facilitating the exploration and development of Live Art in Liverpool. He has also recently been awarded a commission by DaDaFest as part of their Artist Development fund and is currently an artist in residence at Liverpool’s Hope University.
