Jesse Darling, Essay in Cura, 2019

Jesse Darling (*1981, Oxford) is an artist and poet based in Oxford. In sculpture, installation, drawing and text, Darling destabilizes dominant narratives propped up by the likes of ideology, religion, mythology and politics, exposing a fundamental precarity in any claim to coherence. Recent works stand as the ruined relics of crumbling empires, picking up on how the (aesthetic and symbolic) pillars of (what understands itself as) western civilization converge around ideologies of the border and exclusion. Undergirded with a sharp sense of humor, his work remains committed to the messy and unfinished labor of coalition-building and collectivity. Jesse Darling's first exhibition in Berlin and at Galerie Molitor, The Contractor, opened in September 2025. Selected solo exhibitions include Petit Palais, Art Basel Paris (2024); Turner Prize, The Towner, UK (2023); Camden Arts Center, London (2022), Modern Art Oxford, UK (2022), Kunstverein Freiburg, Germany (2022), Triangle France Astérides (2019), and Tate Britain (2018—2019). Recent and ongoing group exhibitions include CAPC Bordeaux (2025-2027), Palais de Tokyo (2023), Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt (2022), and Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (2021). Darling also participated in the 58th Venice Biennale, and was the winner of the Turner Prize 2023.
