Jane Mumford
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2025
Jane Mumford works in a variety of genres and cultural spaces. After a childhood of illustrating comics, dancing and playing the drums she went on to study animation, where all her favourite elements came together: drawing, rhythm, visuals and sound. Her career took an unexpected turn as she slipped into comedy and performance shortly after her Masters. She has now been on stage for over 10 years doing comedy, working with her Duo, hosting events and has written two solo pieces: REPTILE, and "LIFE!" - the latter having just won a Swiss Comedy Award.
Landis & Gyr Stiftung, Switzerland
The Landis & Gyr foundation awards studio scholarships to Swiss artists and cultural professionals in London, Budapest, Sofia and Zug. Its London-based residency partnership with Acme was established in 1987, and provides six month long work/live opportunities for ten Swiss artists per year. Artists are selected for the programme directly by Landis & Gyr Stiftung and must demonstrate a track record of achievement in their field. Over two hundred visual artists, curators, writers, musicians and composers have benefitted from the programme. Residencies are based in Stepney, E1 and are available to Swiss residents only
