Life and careerEdit

Bulloch studied at Goldsmiths' College, London (1985–1988).<ref name=":0" /> She was included in the Freeze Exhibition in 1988 and was established as one of the Young British Artists.<ref name=":0" /> On reflecting on being a Young British Artist, Bulloch said "When I was 22, it was important for me. It was helpful in terms of managing media responses to my work because whenever I mentioned this little label, everyone was like, "Oh yeah, YBA". But they were just talking about a media generated label, instead of the actual work. It's easier, isn't it? It's for lazy journalists."<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1989 she won the Whitechapel Artists' Award.<ref name=":7">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Bulloch undertook a two-month residency at ARCUS- project in Moriya, Japan in 1994.<ref name=":7" /> She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997, part of an all-female shortlist that also included Cornelia Parker, Christine Borland and Gillian Wearing (who won the prize that year).<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> For the Turner Prize exhibition, Bulloch exhibited her playful artwork called Rules Series.<ref name=":2" /> In 2005, she was nominated for the Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst.<ref name=":3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2002 Bulloch was awarded the ASEF (Asia-Europe Foundation) Cultural Grant.<ref name=":7" /> Between 2001 and 2003 she undertook a guest professorship of sculpture at the Akademie für Bildende Künste, Vienna.<ref name=":7" />

Within her art, Bullock plays with the boundaries of mathematics and aesthetics.<ref name=":0" /> She has a particular interest in instructions and rules, especially in the context of technology.<ref name=":3" /> She is an ambiguous multi-disciplinary artist and has worked in multiple media, including video, installation, sculpture, painting.<ref>Susan Kandel (27 May 1995), Art Review: Bulloch Bridges Art and the Audience Los Angeles Times.</ref> In particular, she has used video, animation, sound and light to explore pre-edited systems.<ref>Template:Citation Template:Cbignore</ref> Bulloch is recognised for her 'Pixel Boxes' originally constructed using beech wood and a plastic front screen and later with materials such as copper, aluminium or corian.<ref name=":0" /> The boxes use different lights and colours to create a variety of abstract patterns.<ref name=":0" /> Many of her works make use of biofeedback systems, such as in her 1994 work Betaville, a 'Drawing Machine' painting vertical and horizontal stripes on a wall, was triggered whenever someone sat on the bench in front of it.<ref>Uta Grosenick, Women Artists in the 20th and 21st Century, Taschen, 2001, p. 71. Template:ISBN</ref> Bulloch has also made a number of works using Belisha beacons, which are more commonly used to illuminate pedestrian crossings.<ref>Angela Bulloch, West Ham – Sculpture for Football Songs (1998) Tate Liverpool.</ref> More recently, Bullock's Stacks are unique structures made of compiled rhomboids which play with light and colour to create optical effects.<ref name=":0" /> Bullock's art commonly relies on the interpretation of the viewer, with its meaning being determined by their subjectivity.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A lot of her light and music works are developed using technology Bulloch has created herself.<ref name=":4">Template:Citation Template:Cbignore</ref>

Bulloch is a fan of music and performs live.<ref name=":1" /> She is also the owner of the record label LBCDLP.<ref name=":1" /> Music is often incorporated into her art in a variety of ways such as light instillations that respond to a musical score.<ref name=":1" />

Since 2018 Bulloch is a professor of Time-Based Media at HFBK Hamburg.<ref name=":4" />
