Sam Cottington (he/him) is an artist, writer, and theatremaker from London. Through interdisciplinary experiments in collage, he often presents ‘reality’ as contradictory and mutable: the product of specific historical and social economies. The texture of experience and the production and trajectory of the theatre, the family, and desiring subjectivities are recurrent in his practice, often culminating in devised interventions which address their formal capacities.
Recent exhibitions and performances have been presented at Kunsthalle Winterthur (2026); SculptureCenter, New York (2025); Louche Ops, Berlin, (2025); Nir Altman, Munich (2024); zaza’, Milan (2023); and Ginny on Frederick, London (2022). Phone Plays, his first collection of plays, was published by Montez Press in collaboration with London Performance Studios (2024). He is a graduate of Monica Baer’s class at Städelschule, Frankfurt (2025), and Goldsmiths, University of London.
