Josephine Pryde
Josephine Pryde (born 1967 in Alnwick, Northumberland) is an English artist. In 2010, reviewing a show of Pryde's work which featured "seven colour photographs of extreme close-ups of clothing on a body, and four sculptures made from half-finished woven baskets and metal butcher’s hooks," the reviewer Dan Fox said that the work "seemed somewhat aloof," adding his opinion that "there was a healthy cynicism here perhaps worth listening to."[1] On 27 May 2011, an exhibition of Pryde's photographs – titled Embryos and Estate Agents: L'Art de Vivre – went on display at the Chisenhale Gallery in East London.[2]
In 2016 she was one of the four artists short-listed for the Turner Prize.[3][4]
The New Media Express In A Temporary Siding (Baby Wants To Ride)
[edit]The New Media Express In A Temporary Siding (Baby Wants To Ride) is an installation sculpture nominated for the Turner Prize in 2016 - here presented under the show Lapses In Thinking By The Person I Am[3] - consisting of a model cargo, with a Class 66 diesel locomotive and DB Schenker carriages, in an elevated state.[3][4] The train is inscribed by graffiti hailing from artists from all of the cities it has been exhibited in.[3][4] The work is conceptual on a multitude of art history layers and could so be portraited as a time-travel-train.
Pryde is represented by Reena Spaulings Fine Art.[5] Her work is in the collection of the Museum of Metropolitan Art.[6]
