Musician, Multi disciplinary Artist

Location:

Newcastle Upon Tyne

ABOUT:

Informed by the intersection of nostalgia and becoming, Bailey Oliver’s practice observes what it means to “grow up” in such a turbulent political climate.
Based in Newcastle, his images and short films explore the hazy semiotics, or rather, “cultural signposts” of adolescence in the North East, inquiring into how our past experiences concern the present day, even as a means of play or escapism.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
