Cora Weiss (b.2000) explores image production and compilation, and their use for atmosphere construction in paint, print, photography and writing. Awarded the MFA with Distinction from the Glasgow School of Art (2022-24), they also hold a BA in Fine Art (First Class) from Newcastle University (2018-2022). Most recent shows in Glasgow include I am happy you are here at Strange Field (2026), Dub Ft. at Salt Space Gallery (2025), Chaos Reigns at David Dale Gallery Warehouse (2023) and Swatched x Blush at the Pipe Factory (2023). They have also exhibited internationally in HFBK x GSA at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg (2023). They are currently Studio Co-ordinator for Strange Field, Glasgow.
Inspired by her music playlists, Weiss compiles, orders and recontextualises references to anime, social media, YouTube, archival prints of historic architecture, as well as her own photography. This curated compilation creates melodic lines with rhythmic ‘image-beats’, challenging our growing insensitivities to reading images. In creative dialogue with Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas (1924-29), they explore the desire to see all at once in <Tempo!>(2024). Here they trace links between time, style and referencing via paintings and prints. They draw on music production (sampling, remixing, arranging, mastering) to structure relationships between images, and explore the shifting landscape of media that the artist feels compelled to consume, express and evaluate. Weiss is concerned with different ways of image-categorising and value-attaching, and how these allow us to see the world and its media afresh. For Weiss, it all boils down to the poetic potential of multiplicity. Music and Anime often take centre stage as her subjects.
<Treasure Hunt / Tag-Team!> in collaboration with artist Anton Geryon for their show Dub Ft. (2025) was the starting point for Weiss’s current research, looking into how to treat images as gems or treasures amongst a world of fast paced over saturation. Maude Demo_Anime Remastered, exhibited at Strange Field in 2026, is the most recent iteration of what she has coined her ‘image melodies’, sequences of images that play on the links between animation and music - primarily that of pacing.
