Ben Fitton
Ben Fitton is an artist and senior lecturer in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts. His artworks use performative interventions, text and impermanent forms of public address to contribute to debates around the politics of presentation, participation and spectatorship. His most recent solo exhibition, An apparition or an interface or a proxy or a withdrawal or a ringer or something, was at LUNGLEY Gallery in 2020. He has shown extensively in the United Kingdom and internationally, including previous solo exhibitions at Site Gallery, Sheffield; Floating I.P., Manchester; The Economist Plaza, Redux, IBID. Projects and Balfron Tower, London. In collaboration with Dylan Shipton, he has produced a series of temporary structures in the public realm, including GUNSGOOFFTHEMSELVES for Töne 2014, Chatham; Monument to the Excluded Middle for HOUSE 2013, Brighton; and The History Still to be Made Shows Itself (2012) and The Overbearing Mother (2011) for outdoor sites in St. Leonard’s-on-Sea.
