Thank you for visiting jamesmossart.com. I make artworks and exhibitions to help contextualise historic places and collections with diverse new audiences. I often collaborate with writers, researchers, residents and visitors.

Themes of particular interest include time, potential, work and waste; relationships and relativity; absence and erasure; alternative histories, and the frailties of language—when words aren’t or mustn’t be enough.

Venues and broadcasts include ARTE (Europe), TF1 (France), BBC (UK), Islington Mill, Cité de la Mode et du Design, Manchester Art Gallery, Fuse Art Space, St John on Bethnal Green, Bluedot (Jodrell Bank), Festival Number 6, Bristol Folk House and Greenroom.

To complement my artistic practice and deepen my curatorial knowledge, I have undertaken training and education including with ArtUK (Caring for Your Sculpture Collection); the British Museum (Resilient Heritage mentorship); Rhode Island School of Design (Art History, Postcolonialism and the Global Turn); Common Cause Foundation and The Happy Museum (Embedding Shared Values for Stronger Communities); the Touring Exhibitions Group and Wellcome Collection (Preparing to Borrow); WEAVE Winter School (Creative Spaces); Manchester School of Art (BA Hons Fine Art Painting with Art History); Hertford Regional College (BTEC Diploma with Distinction, Foundation Art & Design) and City & Guilds (Diploma with Distinction, Life Drawing).

I am a member of the British Art Network and a Castlefield Gallery Associate Artist.
