About
We are very excited for our first exhibition of 2023, a solo show by Babak Ganjei at Prism Contemporary in collaboration with The Second Act. This is absolutely not one to be missedPreview night: Thursday 23rd February 🗓️
London based artist Babak Ganjei graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins in 2001. Since then he has been working independently as an artist, playing in bands (Absentee, Wet Paint), writing comic books (Hilarious Consequences, Early Learnings, Twit), hosting regular radio show "Hot Mess" on NTS radio and making comedy shorts that have played on Channel 4.
In 2014 Babak sold a set of twigs from his neighbourhood on eBay for £62. He has turned books by Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump into works of blackout poetry, and tried to sell a painting of his credit card back to Barclays for the value of the debt. It didn’t work but he made a “friend”.
He sent his first email in the Saint Martins library and vowed the internet would never take off. He has been on the back foot ever since.
