As part of its effort to find new ways of working, Block 336 is presenting an online programme, starting with a published interview
and a live Zoom studio visit with Holden on Friday 29 May at 1pm.
His work spans sculpture, large installations, painting, pop music, performance, and multi-screen videos.
Previous works have included collaborations with his father, ornithologist Peter Holden, examining our relationship with the natural world (Natural Selection, Artangel, 2017); a large knitted replica of a chunk of pyramid and a video of returning this piece of rock to the pyramid from which it was taken (Pyramid Piece, Tate, 2010); a seven-screen video installation recreating his teenage manifesto which called for ‘Maximum Irony! Maximum Sincerity’ (Towards a Unified Theory of M!MS, Spike Island 2013); and a library of books and sculptures dedicated to the notion of ‘Thingly Time’ (Kettles Yard 2011).
Holden performs regularly and releases records with his band The Grubby Mitts and runs a project space, Ex-Baldessarre, in Bedford. His work is included in the collections of Tate and Arts Council England.
