Monster Chetwynd
Monster Chetwynd (1973, Londra) vive e lavora a Zurigo.
Chetwynd si è laureata al Royal College of Art con un Master in pittura (2004), dopo un bachelor in Fine Art alla Slade School of Art (2000) e un bachelor in Social Anthropology and History alla UCL (1995) (tutta Londra). Conosciuta per le sue esibizioni esuberanti e divertenti, con costumi, oggetti di scena e scenografie fatti a mano, Chetwynd descrive il suo lavoro come "fatto con impazienza", spesso riutilizzando materiali facili da elaborare e da utilizzare dai numerosi artisti che invita a partecipare, sottolineando la nozione di sviluppo collettivo che sostiene concettualmente gran parte del lavoro dell'artista
