Blue Curry (b.1974) was born in Nassau, The Bahamas. Curry initially trained in photography at the University of Westminster (2004) before graduating from Goldsmiths College Fine Art MFA programme in 2009. Working primarily in sculptural assemblage and installation, Curry uses an idiosyncratic language of commonplace objects and found materials to engage with themes of exoticism, tourism and material culture, challenging set fantasies around the Caribbean.
Curry has exhibited in the Tate Britain, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Liverpool, SITE Santa Fe and Jamaica Biennials, the Caribbean Triennial, The Art Museum of the Americas, The World Bank, The Museum of Latin American Art, The Frost Museum and The Nassauischer Kunstverein, among many others. He is currently showing in documenta 15 in Kassel, Germany, and in “The Tropical is Political: Caribbean Art Under The Visitor Economy Regime” at the Americas Society, New York, NY.
Curry lives and works in the Caribbean and the United Kingdom, where he directs Ruby Cruel, a creative space in Hackney, London.
