Jane Palm-Gold is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and was an animation director with The Unit, Limelight Productions (work screened on The Chart Show, MTV and LWT). In 1992 her show ‘Chances: An Exhibition of Safer Sex’ was hosted by London Lighthouse and screened on MTV’s 'The Pulse'. In 1993 her show ‘Loving and Living’ featured at the 'Princess Diana Concert for Hope', Wembley Arena. Her work has been shown at The Hospital, London, and films screened at BAFTA, National Film Theatre and Glastonbury Festival 1998 by Greenpeace. In 2010 she took part in the Urbanite Collective Show at the Coningsby showing observational drawings of drug users and the police in St Giles. In May 2011 she presented her next solo show, ‘London’s Underworld Unearthed: The Secret Life of the Rookery’ with the Museum of London Archaeology, an innovative show about the infamous St. Giles Rookery that blended recent archaeological finds with her own paintings and drawings inspired by history, the 18th century gin epidemic and today’s local crack dealers and addicts. This show featured in the Guardian, The Independent, New Scientist and on BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms Show. 'Regeneration City Blues', her commissioned Leeds/London solo exhibition (2015), juxtaposed a celebration of the musical and creative cacophony of late 20th century London with the threat of its imminent silencing under the pile-driver of urban regeneration and corporate redevelopment. This show featured on BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms Show, West End Extra and Jocks and Nerds. In 2017, she was commissioned by Shaftesbury PLC to curate the exhibition, 'Fear & Loathing at the Roxy' which celebrated the unveiling of the Seven Dials Trust's 'People's Plaque' dedicated to the legendary Punk club on Neal Street, Covent Garden. This showed iconic photographic images from the embryonic Punk scene by Derek Ridgers, Ray Stevenson, Jeremy Gibbs and Rebecca Hale. This exhibition was covered by London Live, West End Extra, Camden New Journal. That same year saw her as featured artist in SKYArts 'Tate Walks' William Hogarth programme with Danny Baker and Gus Casely-Hayford. The following year, the Union Club, Soho, hosted a 2018/19 retrospective of her work inspired by the rich yet notorious history of St. Giles, 'That This One Parish of St. Giles Hath Caused Us All This Mischief'. The next two years were spent in extensive research towards a forthcoming exhibition (slated for 2023). In March 2022, she exhibited in the annual 'Punk Art Show' featuring art which celebrates the artistic work by various Punk musicians from the original '77 scene and beyond. Previously hosted by Underdog, it was this year shown at the Museum of Youth Culture and her illustrated talk 'Fear & Loathing at the Roxy' was one of the exhibition's associated events. To promote this she appeared as a guest on Simon Hearn's 'England's Dreaming' radio show on Totally Wired FM and on Spizz FM on Resonance. In July 2022, she is an invited guest artist appearing in 'The Urban Sublime' by Urban Contemporaries group and is also exhibiting in 'Galvanise' at Spitalfields Studios, Whitechapel.
