Gill Baldwin

artistic research - sculpting - digital - experimental - ecology

In her work, Gill Baldwin studies our relationship with the artificial. Zooming in on technology, machinery, intelligence, and the particularities of on- and offline worlds, Baldwin carefully maps potential repercussions and consequences of the ever-transforming kinship between humans and (technologic) artificiality; human made objects and phenomena on the verge of becoming autonomous. Latest exhibitions include the Van Gogh Museum (2022) and V2 Lab for Unstable Media (2021). Her research has been recognized by the Piet Zwart Institute Alumni Award and in 2019 she received the Nova Scotia Talent Trust Young Artist of Excellence Award. She was an artist in residence at the HCA Community of Art at Roodkapje in Rotterdam for 2020-2021.

    Bliss

    Exhibition / presentation

    • 11-09-2021 t/m 09-10-2021
    • In collaboration with: Hamburger Community of Art
    • Location: Roodkdapje Delftseplein 39, Rotterdam
    • In my first solo exhibition I created an artificial world modeled after the famous Windows desktop background image. Bliss presents a natural world that is replicated, reproduced and fetishized until a mere mockery is left. The exhibition is a reflection on human-made materials having surprisingly, badly, and unexpectedly in order to produce an illusion of authenticity. Bliss is the domestication of the sublime, the myth of the natural and the relentless pursuit of the idea of ​​wilderness.
