James Prevett makes things to gather around - objects, events, text, video, often combined together as sculpture. He has two intersecting modes of artistic practice: studio based making and a social practice. Both revolve around sculpture and its social relations.
He has exhibited widely including in UK, Finland, Thailand, USA, Austria and Brazil, and was part of a team that represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2006. In 2021 he was awarded the inaugural Linnamo Prize, by the Olga and Vilho Linnamo Foundation. His works are in the Kiasma, Finnish National Gallery collection as well as numerous private collections. James lives and works in Helsinki, Finland where he is a Sculpture Lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts of Uniarts Helsinki.
