Shaun C. Badham
Shaun C. Badham is an artist born and lives in Essex, received a BA Fine Art from University West of England in Bristol and MFA Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London.
Often responding to the socio-political, historical and human attributes of a given site, Shaun instigates long-term collaborative projects that are realised across different mediums, from local community actions to large-scale sculptural installations. Notable projects include, I’M STAYING (2014 to present), MORNING (2014 to 2018), PLOT (2018 to 2021) and EDGELANDS (2022 to 2025). With a research led practice and an emphasise on process, moments of public activity tend to facilitate investigation and dialogue surrounding the project, whether that’s via an exhibition, sculpture, group walk, a book or a workshop.
Shaun has worked with Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Grizedale Arts, Metal, Firstsite, House of Annetta, The Old Waterworks, Tsarino Foundation, Galerie im Körnerpark, Outpost Gallery, South Kiosk, Annka Kultys Gallery, Estuary Festival, Arnolfini, Sculpture in the City, and Back Lane West.
Between 2019 and 2022 Shaun was on the artist council for A-N and set up Basildon based network Bas-Arts-Index in 2019
