EK Myerson (b. 1995) is an artist working with text, film, sculpture & drawing. They use methods like welding, lost wax casting & associative word play. Drawing on archival research, their practice unravels into speculative, auto-fictional & conversational forms, giving a sense of history as intimately felt. Reflecting on queer life & touch, their work is relational, often unfolding into site-specific installation & performance. They are interested in DIY approaches like self-publishing, print-making & video-editing.
EK is currently working on a new practice-based research project, ‘Vinegar as Biotechnology’, funded by a Wellcome Trust Early-Career Grant (2026—2029). Based at UCL, EK is making an interlinked film & creative-critical book on medieval alchemy & gender transition. They recently completed their MA in Contemporary Art Practice at the RCA (2026), & have a PhD in medieval literature from Birkbeck College (2022). Their first book, The Desire for Syria in Medieval England, launched at the Warburg Institute in January 2026. Their work has been presented at Kettle’s Yard, Birkbeck Institute of the Moving Image, Genesis Cinema, Chelsea College of Art, The Hockney Gallery (RCA), Hypha HQ, Hypha Southbank, & The Trans+ Virtual Centre of Excellence.
