V.O Curations is very pleased to present ‘Clear out the wounds closest to the sun’, a solo exhibition by recent artist-in-residence, Josephine Baker. Incorporating standardised industrial materials as well as natural elements such as Dover chalk, oak and pine, the show contemplates the fluid vernacular of London’s organic and built landscapes, and in particular, the ecosystem of building sites and their various materialities.

Josephine Baker (b. 1990, London, UK) completed her undergraduate studies at Central Saint Martins in London in 2012, and her postgraduate in 2017 at the Royal Academy Schools, London. Her recent solo presentations include: The Land Lies, ChertLüdde BUNGALOW (Berlin, 2020); Islands, Kupfer (London, 2019); Night Music, British School at Rome (2018). She has participated in group exhibitions at Nir Altman (Munich, 2021); Drawing Biennial, Drawing Room (London, 2021); Sundy (London, 2020); V.O. Curations (London, 2020); GAO gallery (London, 2019); Tintype (London, 2019); Love Unlimited (Glasgow, 2018); and Royal Academy of Arts (London, 2018).
