About
George Finlay Ramsay (b. Dundee, 1988) is an artist working with poetry, performance and analogue filmmaking.
His projects to date have included inventing a service to burn people’s regrets inside volcanoes; his own family enacting a medieval morality play as an examination of their ancestor cult; an interview with Mt. Stromboli; beavers rebuilding the world after a cataclysm; the role of a southern Italian flagellant procession in a family’s process of mourning; a sixteenth-century manor house falling asleep; and a musical argument about the latest developments in quantum physics.
He was shortlisted for the Jarman Award 2025 & the Margaret Tait Award in 2023. His work has been presented at PAF Olomouc (CZ), Barbican (UK), The Whitechapel Gallery (UK), Camden Arts Centre (UK), Rupert Residency (LT) and elsewhere.
