Lisa Busby is a Scottish artist, composer, and vocalist working in London. She performs and composes with a number of ensembles, The Nomadic Female DJ Troupe and Rutger Hauser, and has an arts practice that situates itself across the boundaries of composition, performance art, and pop music/culture. She works in long duration forms, performance video, text based score, installation and site specific performance. Throughout her work she is interested in exploring the fringes of song; the appropriation of everyday objects and scenarios with a particular focus on using domestic playback media and objects as instruments; and how pop culture artefacts can be set in new and unusual contexts.
Lisa has performed and exhibited in various solo and group situations internationally including at Blackwood Gallery (Toronto), The Royal Institute of Art (Stockholm), Inter Arts Centre (Malmö), Tate Modern, The Southbank Centre, The Ashmolean, Modern Art Oxford, Wysing Arts, The Arnolfini, and Café Oto; and worked with curators including Verkligheten (Umeå), Supernormal, The Surround, Electra, Audiograft, Oxford Contemporary Music, Saisonscape, Primary and Radiophrenia. She has released with record labels Adaadat, Seed, and The Lumen Lake; and published with Routledge, Bloomsbury, Her Noise, and Structo. She is also Senior Lecturer in Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.
