Trevor Baird
-
Trevor Baird (b.1990, Vancouver, Canada) lives and works in Montreal. He has studied at NSCAD University, Halifax, and holds a BFA in Ceramics from Concordia University. Trevor Baird’s practice combines the ancient language of ceramics with the contemporary aesthetic of comic books, creating hybrid objects that blend the sentimentality of DIY with the idealized perfection of industrial productions. Through repeated gestures of molding, casting, and screenprinting, his work retains and highlights a process where intervention and error are introduced and cultivated through each step. His work has been exhibited at the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum, Lansing; Harpy, Rutherford; The Hole, New York; Projet Pangée, Montreal; and Arsenal, Toronto. In 2019, he was shortlisted for the Winifred Shantz Award and was part of the exhibition La machine qui enseignait des airs aux oiseaux at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (Canada).
He is represented by Projet Pangée.
