Jordan Baseman

Jordan Baseman is an American-born artist and film-maker who lives and works in London. He took a BFA at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and an MA at Goldsmiths, University of London, and leads the sculpture programme at the Royal College of Art. His films mix interviews and non-fiction storytelling with hand-processed film and archive footage, and look at memory, psychology and identity. His films have been shown at the 53rd Venice Biennale and have won festival awards, and he was Henry Moore Sculpture Fellow at the British School at Rome in 2003. His multi-screen film Pro Grip (How to be Humans), made for The Box in Plymouth, uses footage of the 1990 UK Arm Wrestling Championships from the TSW archive.
