Bobby Baker

Bobby Baker is a woman, and an artist. She is acclaimed for producing radical work of outstanding quality across disciplines including performance, drawing and multi media. In a career spanning four decades she has, amongst other things, danced with meringue ladies; made a life-sized edible version of her family; and driven around the streets of London strapped to the back of a truck yelling at passers by through a megaphone to ‘Pull Yourselves Together.’

Baker’s touring exhibition Diary Drawings: Mental Illness and Me, 1998 - 2007 premiered at the Wellcome Collection in 2009. The accompanying book of the same name won the Mind Book of the Year 2011.

Her most recent live show, Mad Gyms & Kitchens, was commissioned as part of London 2012 Unlimited for the Cultural Olympiad. 

Bobby Baker is the Artistic Director of Daily Life Ltd, part of the Arts Council National Portfolio.
