Rory Pilgrim (born 1988 in Bristol, England) is a British artist who lives and works in the Netherlands and the Isle of Portland.[3][4]

Career

Initially Pilgrim was drawn to music, he studied classical music and sung in a cathedral choir when he was young and was part of two pop bands while a teenager. Later he came to art for the ‘open space’ it provided.[5]

Pilgrim's work is influenced by socially engaged art, as well as activist and feminist traditions.[6] The creation of the work often entails social processes, involving other people through collaborations, workshops, and dialogues.[7] The artistic media used by Pilgrim include life performance, video art, installation, music composition, and drawing, The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam described Pilgrim's work as creating spaces "..where people of diverse backgrounds can come together and develop new forms of understanding and caretaking..".[8]

In 2019 Pilgrim was awarded the Prix de Rome (Netherlands), for his work The Undercurrent.[9] Pilgrim developed The Undercurrent during an artist residency at MING Studios in Boise, Idaho, and the work revolves around a group of young people from Boise.[10] It explores the intricate interplay between their individual struggles and broader societal issues. These encompass a spectrum of concerns, spanning from climate change to gender equality.[11]

Pilgrim was nominated for the 2023 Turner Prize for the work RAFTS.[12] While working on RAFTS, Pilgrim indicated that it "in many ways, is a second chapter to The Undercurrent and explores intersections between mental health and the climate crisis."[13]
