Sculptures, 2014–2024 is the first exhibition to span ten years of William Cobbing’s sculptural practice. This show is curated in conjunction with Janus Seasons, the artist’s new commission for The Art Block at Selfridges London, on view until October 2025.

Rooted in sculpture, Cobbing’s practice encompasses a diverse range of media, including video, performance and installation, with clay being a central material. His interest in the relationship between clay and communication draws from ancient myths of creation, as well as technology and our constant push and pull between the analogue and the digital. The results are tactile works highlighted by masterful application of glazes that convey universal ideas about what makes us human, our physical vulnerabilities as a species, our humour and endless fascination with storytelling.

Over the past decade, William Cobbing (b. 1974, London) has gained international recognition for his pioneering work which brings together performance, sculpture, video and digital art. He has exhibited in museums worldwide including with the Whitechapel Gallery and Hayward Gallery, London; Tate Liverpool; Camden Arts Centre, London; Freud Museum, London; Studio Voltaire, London; MIMA, Middlesbrough; The Issey Miyake Foundation, Tokyo; NOMAS Foundation, Rome; TENT, Rotterdam; Gemeentemuseum The Hague; Keramiek Museum Princessehof, The Netherlands. His work is held in international collections including the Arts Council England; Wellcome Trust, London; Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University; NOMAS Foundation, Rome; MONA Museum of Old and New Art, Tasmania.
