Patrick Goddard creates video, publications, drawing, performance and installation. His politically loaded and narrative based works undermine themselves with a self-defeating black comedy as they chart the artist’s fumbled attempts to create a personal and political integrity.

Goddard’s recent solo exhibitions include ‘Go Professional’ Seventeen, 2017; ‘Looking for the Ocean Estate’ Almanac Projects, London, 2016, ‘Gone To Croatan’ at Outpost Gallery, Norwich, 2015; ‘Revolver II’ at Matt’s Gallery, London, 2014. Goddard completed an MFA at Goldsmiths University in 2011 and is currently studying for a doctorate at Oxford University, in Fine Art practice.

Goddard was recently commissioned by Opening Times and the resulting film can be viewed at dirtydeedsdonecheap.otdac.org
