Brian Catling

1948 born in London

He is a poet, sculptor and performance artist, who is currently working in video and live work. He has been commissioned to make solo installations and performances in many countries including; Spain, Japan, Iceland, Israel, Holland, Norway, Germany and Greenland. His recent solo show Antix at Mattºs Gallery drew much critical acclaim. Four years ago he founded the international performance group The Wolf In The Winter, whose most recent manifestation was at The South London Gallery.

The unveiling of his monument at the site of execution, Tower of London is scheduled for September.

Eight books of Catlingºs poetry have been published and his work has been included in many anthologies. A new book Resurrecting Bobby Awl will be released later this year from Etruscan Press.
