Bram Thomas Arnold was born in Switzerland in 1982. After studying at Oxford Bram went on to undertake the worlds first MA in Arts & Ecology at Dartington College of Arts. His multidisciplinary works seek to explore notions of interpretation and misinterpretation, the problems of translations of experience between individuals, disciplines and societies in an ever more global world. Seeking out the subtlety of the poetic gesture he dreams of a more Romantic disposition and considered approach to perception and existence. In 2009 he walked from his home in central London to his place of birth in North East Switzerland. In 2011 he began a practice-based PhD at Oxford Brookes using the journey to Switzerland as the focus for a study into contemporary peripatetic arts practice and its relationship to new research in the field of autoethnography.
He has taught on the MA program at Dartington, written for the newstatesman.com and is co-founder of the interdisciplinary arts group The Mobile Institute, and also involved in the artists network POST. Selected exhibitions include; Field Broadcast. Wysing Arts Centre, 2010. Microperformance, The Agency, Deptford, 2010. Walking Home. Shed & a Half Gallery, London, 2009. LiveArt Falmouth. Falmouth, 2008; Conflux Festival of Psychogeography, New York, USA, 2008; Cinderella Hills, CCANW, Exeter, 2008. Bram currently lives and works between places.
