About David Blandy

David Blandy makes work that slips between performance and video, digital and analogue, investigating the stories and cultural forces that inform and influence our lives. Collaboration is central to his practice, examining communal and personal heritage and interdependence. With research spanning multiple forms of archive, from historic texts to academic archives, archaeology and ecological theory, twitch streams and film archives, Blandy weaves poetic works that explore the complexities of the contemporary subject.

Blandy’s projects involve complex installations, performance, writing, gaming, and sound. He was nominated for the Film London Jarman Award with Larry Achiampong in 2018. He has exhibited and performed at venues nationally and worldwide such as: Towner Gallery, Eastbourne; Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea; Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge; Art Tower Mito, Tokyo; Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki; Tate Modern, London; Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; Turner Contemporary, Margate; Spike Island, Bristol; Künstlerhaus Stuttgart; MoMA PS1, New York; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai.
