Jonathan Baldock news

This talk continues the 'DRAF Broadcasts: Podcast' series in which artists from the David Roberts Collection choose a work for discussion. For this edition of the podcast, Jonathan Baldock selects 'Nana Danseuse', a sculpture made around 1972 by French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, an artist he has long loved and admired. 

'Towner International' is a new biennial exhibition of contemporary art that takes place for the first time at Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne from 6 October 2020 to 11 April 2021. The Brewers Award of £10,000, sponsored by Brewers Decorator Centres, will be awarded to one of the exhibiting artists along with mentoring from the Towner team.

For his first exhibition in Norway, Jonathan Baldock presents a new body of works.  In an essay commissioned specially for the show Chris Bayley (Curatorial Assistant, Barbican Art Gallery, London) writes, "Baldock’s immersive exhibition encourages the viewer to enter a psychological world that revels in the performative properties of sculpture and is imbued with a magical, ritualistic power. It seduces and repels in equal measure."

We are delighted that Arts Council Collection has acquired works from Jonathan Baldock's 'Maske' series. These wall-based ceramics are amongst the 38 works by 21 artists recently acquired by the Collection with the aim of supporting and promoting British artists at a critical stage in their career. 

On Wednesday 24 June from 10am, Jonathan Baldock took part in a seven hour Slow TV marathon streamed on Kunsthall Stavanger’s website. The live stream showed Baldock working on new large-scale textile works for his solo exhibition ‘Me, Myself and I’ at Kunsthall Stavanger (10 September–8 November 2020).
