BIOGRAPHY

Steven Claydon was born in 1969 in London, United Kingdom, where he continues to live and work. Claydon is an artist and a musician. He was a member of the band ADD N to (X) until the group split in 2003. His visual practice explores the paradoxical relationship between text, motifs and forms through calculated juxtapositions. His curatorial projects, two-dimensional works and sculptural arrangements explore objects and images’ poetic capacity to gain a certain measure of autonomy when staged within specific assemblages. Claydon notably addressed these concerns in “Strange Events Permit Themselves the Luxury of Occurring”, an exhibition which he curated at The Camden Art Centre (2007), that established uneasy connections and dissonances between the work of such diverse practitioners as Francis Picabia and Mark Lecky through its scrupulous arrangement 

Steven Claydon has recently presented solo exhibitions and projects at Der Uberlebensinstinkt, Kimmerich, Berlin (2016), Hotel, London (2010), David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles (2010), Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle, Munich (2009), Artissima, Turin (2009), Galleria Massimo de Carlo, Milan (2009) and the Serpentine Pavillion, London (2008). His work has also been shown as part of “The Dark Monarch” at Tate St.Ives, Cornwall (2009), “The Ancient Set” at Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, London (2008), the Busan Biennial, Busan, South Korea (2008), “Sympathy For The Devil, Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967” at the Museum Of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2007) and “Rings of Saturn” at Tate Modern, London (2007).

Steven Claydon is represented by Kimmerich. New York and David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles.
