American artist Charles Simonds began working with clay while studying art at the University of California, Berkeley. His early miniature ‘dwellings’ became the foundation for an art practice that encompasses sculpture, performance, street art and activism. Simonds’ dwellings have appeared in cities worldwide. He has exhibited extensively, including solo exhibitions at the Fundacion Bilbao Arte, Bilbao; the Joseph Helman Gallery, New York, and the Denver Art Museum, Colorado.
