Patrick Cole

"Over the last 10+ years I have worked as an artist making performances and sculptures. My artistic output can be split between two different mediums: the physical and the performative. Within my performances I employ the modes and traditions of storytelling to engage with the audience. The sculptural element takes the form of sets and props which are used and activated within the performances.

I have exhibited and performed in many different contexts, internationally as well as within the UK; Including at Glasgow International, Glasgow UK. Neoterismoi Toumazou,  In Nicosia, Cyprus. Catalyst Arts, FIX Art Festival, Belfast, UK. The Whitstable Biennale, Whitstable, UK, the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy. Amongst others. I graduated from the MFA program at the Glasgow school of art in 2014. Where I received a full scholarship from the Leverhulme fund.

Throughout my artistic carrier I have been selected for many different prizes. I was shortlisted for the Converse x Dazed Emerging Artist Award, The Royal Academy, London in 2015; included in the Catlin Guide, 2015; received Performancepreis, Filigran Trägersysteme GmbH & Co KG, in 2014 and was included in Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2013."
