David Blackmore is a European artist. His initial training was through the medium and criticality of photography. However, over the past decade, his practice has migrated substantially away from photography favouring a Post-Medium approach. Blackmore has two sides to his practice. One is studio based, working with sculpture and print. The other consists of transgressive actions performed for the image and increasingly relational exchanges. Blackmore's works are gestures against authority. Gestures that exploit the gaps, spaces and boundaries that exist between the structures and systems we live within. Hinged on the boundary areas between order and dissent his work takes material from the familiar and disregarded aspects of civic life Blackmore’s works articulate a frustration with the way our lives are dictated to by systems of order. Initially studying at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art & Design (Dublin, Ire) and University of Westminster (London, UK) Blackmore completed a Master’s in Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art (London, Uk). David has exhibited widely internationally including solo shows at Gallery Vassie (Amsterdam), Draíocht (Dublin), Central European House of Photography (Bratislava), Schwartz Gallery (London), SITEATION (Dublin) and MOCA (London). An ongoing relational work European Pa55port has featured at MOCA London (October, 2018), re: publica’s Berlin (May 2018) and Dublin (Sept. 2017) conferences on Digital Culture and European society and presented at Rem Koolhaas / Wolfgang Tillmans’ EuroLab conference in June 2018. Two recent works by Blackmore have been accessioned to the British Museum's collection; one of which featured in I‐Object (Jan 2019). David's studio is located at Chisenhale Studios Bow which he shares with Artist Fritha Jenkins and is Contextual Practice Lecturer on Central Saint Martins' Foundation and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of the Arts.
