Catherine Bertola (b.1976) is an artist based in Newcastle. Her work involves producing site-specific installations, drawings and films that address the invisible histories and hidden hierarchies of particular sites, often through the lens of women who have occupied them. Past work has often been temporary and precarious, with installations disappearing almost as quickly as they are made, this temporality is an integral part of the work. More recently through publications, drawing and objects that exist outside their sites, her work explores how to address or preserve this impermanence and the effacing of women’s histories.
Bertola’s work has been commissioned and exhibited nationally and internationally with organisations such as Leeds Museums and Galleries, V&A Museum, Bronte Parsonage Museum, Museum of Arts and Design (New York) and several National Trust properties.
