Curated by Ben Moore
Ben has curated exhibitions at galleries and museums including London’s V&A, the Saatchi Gallery, Somerset House, and The Pacific Design Centre in Los Angeles.
In 2013 he conceptualised and curated ‘Art Wars’ at Saatchi Gallery, an exhibition of stormtrooper helmets worked upon by artists including Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, David Bailey, Alison Jackson, D*Face, Antony Micallef and Yinka Shonibare. The exhibition was a sell out success and attracted media attention world wide. Since then Art Wars has travelled to Sweden, Miami and Los Angeles with new and well-known artists taking part including Anish Kapoor, Retna, Ben Eine, Mr Brainwash, Joe Rush, UnSkilled Worker and Blek Le Rat.
In 2018 Moore conceptualised ‘UnMissable’ - an exhibition of portraits of missing people. ‘Unmissable’ was unveiled at The Other Art Fair hosted by Saatchi Art in March 2019 and featured portraits by Charming Baker, Samira Addo, Chris Moon, Nina Fowler and Carne Griffiths. The exhibition became the highlight of the fair attracting national coverage from radio, television, newspapers and magazines.
In 2019, to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landings, Moore curated ‘One Small Step’ - a unique exhibition featuring 12 leading artists – who each transformed an astronaut helmet into a work of art. Participating artists included Joana Vasconcelos, Chris Levine, Mr. Brainwash, Unskilled Worker, Hayden Kays, and Ben Eine.
