Simon Denny, who was awarded the Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel Statements in 2012, is interested in the development and contradictions of our thoroughly mediatised society.

His installations, objects, and projects focus on the connections between changes in media, commerce, aesthetics, and politics, with their ever repeated and always rapidly obsolete promise of the new.
