Her work was also included in notable group exhibitions such as The New Decor at Hayward Gallery, London; Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour 1950 to Today at Tate Liverpool and Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Theanyspacewhatever for which she created an installation for the ceiling of Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Angela Bulloch (born 1966 in Rainy River, Ontario, Canada), is an artist who often works with sound and installation; she is recognised as one of the Young British Artists.

Bulloch lives and works in Berlin.

Bulloch studied at Goldsmiths' College, London (1985–1988).

She was included in the Freeze Exhibition in 1988 and was established as one of the Young British Artists.

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."

In 1989 she won the Whitechapel Artists' Award.

Bulloch undertook a two-month residency at ARCUS- project in Moriya, Japan in 1994.

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.

Bulloch has also made a number of works using Belisha beacons, which are more commonly used to illuminate pedestrian crossings.

More recently, Bullock's Stacks are unique structures made of compiled rhomboids which play with light and colour to create optical effects.

Bullock's art commonly relies on the interpretation of the viewer, with its meaning being determined by their subjectivity.

A lot of her light and music works are developed using technology Bulloch has created herself.

Bulloch is a fan of music and performs live.

She is also the owner of the record label LBCDLP.

Music is often incorporated into her art in a variety of ways such as light instillations that respond to a musical score.

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).

For the Turner Prize exhibition, Bulloch exhibited her playful artwork called Rules Series.

Bulloch exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in 1997.

Bulloch was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 and for the Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst in 2005.

Between 2001 and 2003 she undertook a guest professorship of sculpture at the Akademie für Bildende Künste, Vienna.

Within her art, Bullock plays with the boundaries of mathematics and aesthetics.

She has a particular interest in instructions and rules, especially in the context of technology.

She is an ambiguous multi-disciplinary artist and has worked in multiple media, including video, installation, sculpture, painting.

In particular, she has used video, animation, sound and light to explore pre-edited systems.

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.

The boxes use different lights and colours to create a variety of abstract patterns.

Other museum exhibitions include Kunsthaus Glarus (2001); Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (2003); Le Consortium, Dijon (2005); Modern Art Oxford, Vienna Secession, and The Power Plant, Toronto (2005); and Lenbachhaus, Munich (2008).

In 2002 Bulloch was awarded the ASEF (Asia-Europe Foundation) Cultural Grant.

In 2005, she was nominated for the Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst.

Since 2018 Bulloch is a professor of Time-Based Media at HFBK Hamburg.
