Bitsy Knox is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of research, performance, radio, sound, sculpture, and writing. Her work focuses on the collapse of internal and external perception, exploring the interplay of private and social worlds touched by chaos, romance, and reclusion. Through in-depth archival and counter-archival research, she examines the role of personal and collective mythopoeia within socio-political structures, understanding it as a cyclical, digestive process, in which narratives are continuously integrated and expelled to reflect desire.
In recent years, she has performed and exhibited work at Accelerator (Stockholm), Kunstraum der Leuphana Universität (Lüneburg), n.b.k. (Berlin), Nida Art Colony (Neringa), Klosterruine (Berlin), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), Kunstverein Bielefeld, KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin), Martin Gropius Bau (Berlin), TENT (Rotterdam), Exile Gallery (Vienna), Une Une Une (Perpignan), Organhaus Art Centre (Chongqing), MACBA (Barcelona), W139 (Amsterdam), and Komplot (Brussels). Her writing has appeared in publications by e-flux, TABLOID Press, Pure Fyction, A Prior Magazine, and Sternberg Press, among others.
Bitsy has been a Guest Lecturer at Leuphana University (Lüneburg), and has delivered lectures for CuratorLab (Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden), SFU Field School (Simon Fraser University, Vancouver), Nova Scotia College of Art & Design (Halifax) and Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin. She hosts the radio show Something Like on Cashmere Radio (Berlin) and 96.5 CHFR Hornby Island Community Radio, and has appeared as a guest host on Kiosk Radio (Brussels), Refuge Worldwide (Berlin), Subcity Radio (Glasgow), Stegi Radio (Athens), and WFMU (New Jersey). Recent institutional radio partnerships include Kunstverein in Hamburg (with Montez Press Radio, New York City), Kölnischer Kunstverein, and Wellcome Trust/Mindscapes/Gropius Bau.
She is Deputy Editor of Pina Magazine, commissioning artists and writers to produce new exhibitions and short fiction in-print. In 2024, she released a 5-part audio documentary in cooperation with the Barbara Hammer Estate, New Friend, which explores the context behind a series of photos taken by the artist and filmmaker, Barbara Hammer in 1973. She is also currently working on a counter-archival audio documentary commissioned by Performance Space New York.
Bitsy is a long-time collaborator of the Brussels-based artist and musician Julien Meert, with whom she makes music as Bitsy Knox & Roger 3000. Their latest LP, the ears of animals was released in October 2025 on Moli del Tro (Brussels/Paris) and distributed by Kuroneko.
Bitsy Knox grew up on the unceded and ancestral territory of hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, also known as Vancouver, Canada. She is based in Berlin.
