Alex Baker was nominated by Tim Head for Contemporary Art Society's ARTfutures 2008 held at Bloomberg SPACE, London.
“In his work Alex has a precise way of making the invisible visible and abstract thought tangible. His beautifully crafted instruments for the moulding and funnelling of sound are primarily made to do a job - to be succinct, transparent and efficient - but through their elegant precision they also become objects of delicate poetical discourse.”
- Tim Head, 2008
