Oliver Braid
Oliver Braid was born in 1984, he lives and works in Glasgow (GB).
“In my recent work, I attempt to position myself as an artist using various tactics to question the issue of happiness. I employ affect, joy, and camaraderie in these investigations—emphasizing these themes to better assess their contribution to production and their potential as sources of creative inspiration, while also exploring their critical credibility.
At first, I divided my practice into two divergent paths: ‘objects’—static pieces attempting to articulate social situations through representation—and ‘projects’—a more candid approach involving collaborations or entrepreneurial curations. Currently, I am exploring new routines to reconcile these two approaches.” - Oliver Braid
