Simeon Barclay: Defying the Norm

In a new five-part series of films, we examine how the art of breaking rules is critical to artistic practice. In the second film in the series, we visit Leeds-based artist Simeon Barclay. With the help of artists featured in our major exhibition Beano: The Art of Breaking the Rules , we explore ideas of mischief, defying the norm, playing with language and class, making mayhem, and questioning authority, with each film shot on location across the UK. Combining a diverse range of media, Simeon Barclay creates reductive, sophisticated works that engage with aspects of aesthetics, British culture, subjectivity, and memory. In this film, shot whilst walking the streets of night-time Leeds, Barclay ruminates on his upbringing, his artistic practice and how art has helped him understand his place in the world. Neon, a material often used in his practice also features, with Barclay considering the substance’s indefinability; a material of both playfulness and deceit.
