Join our SPIN host Alhena Katsof in a special opportunity to visit Toby Paterson’s studio.
Toby Paterson was born in Glasgow in 1974. He studied at Glasgow School of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating from the former in 1995. In Glasgow, he is represented by The Modern Institute and in London, by Sutton Lane. Paterson won the 2002 Beck’s Futures Prize and received a Creative Scotland Award in 2006.
Recent projects include solo shows in The Hague and London, group exhibitions in San Francisco, Belgrade, Madrid and Middlesborough, and the commission of permanent works at Tramway in Glasgow, and at BBC Scotlandʼs new headquarters and on the campus of Warwick University. He is also developing work for the seven stations that constitute the Docklands Light Railway’s planned Stratford International Extension. Paterson’s interest in cities and their architecture is manifested throughout his work in the form of painting, sculpture and photography. He currently lives and works in Glasgow.
