Tatiana Baskakova is a Russia-born British artist based in London, UK. She’s got a BA Art Practice 2010 and MA in Art and Politics 2012 from Goldsmiths College, University of London. She is a co-founder and director of Ceramics Studio Co-op.
Tatiana uses ceramics, print, painting and performance to explore identity, embodiment, societal norms and practices. She is invested in making as a process and a site of becoming, the balance between gaining or losing control over artistic media, its relationship to the audience and the politics of presence. Rhythm of making, language and physicality of life in day-to-day existence are consistently defining this practice and set direction of her recent ceramics study of lithogragraphic print on clay.
Before focusing on clay she exhibited internationally, and practicipated in art activist collectives, exploring politics of resistance and it’s relationship to asethetics. She showed at Moscow Biennale of Young Art, and did mutiple site specific performances both in institutional and grassroots settings.
