Born 1967 in Epsom (United Kingdom), lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin.
In his work Simon Starling opens up new negotiations between art and the real, by revisiting the modernist heritage, free of both nostalgia and fascination. His aesthetic approach could be compared to a scientific exploration moved by the desire to understood how things work by experiencing them. Behind its restrained appearance, his work offers a dense fabric of coincidences. Each piece contains the potential for multiple connections, while exploring only a tiny fraction of them. Always attentive to the ecology within which aesthetic issues develop, Starling has engaged in countless aesthetic quests, documenting their progress with forms and images.
At the Jacobins he will be showing a version of his installation Hiroshima, which combines traditional Japanese Noh theatre and the history of modern sculpture.
