Steve Ouditt. Trinidad and Tobago

Steve Ouditt Art/Design is located in Port of Spain Trinidad. Artist, Designer and Curator Steve Ouditt’s installations have been exhibited in juried shows in Cuba, China, New York, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Iceland, Dominican Republic, Cologne, Kassel, Guadeloupe and Jamaica. He is currently working on projects which unify his disciplines (installation art and design) with behavioural science, design for social change, social entrepreneurship, and exhibition design. Steve’s London exhibition “Creole Processing Zone” opened in 2000, with a feature address delivered by the late Professor Stuart Hall. His iconographic work ‘Ralph D Evader’ was selected in 1997 as part of the prestigious British New Contemporaries- making him one of the few Caribbean artists to have ever been included in the British New Contemporaries. One of Ouditt’s most recent and highly successful works- born out of long discussions with political economist Lloyd Best, “Plantation Economy and Trademark Capital”, was shown at the Havana Biennale in Cuba in 2010. Steve was Curator of Research and Education at the Institute of International Visual Arts [inIVA], in London. He also lectured at the Caribbean School of Architecture, Jamaica; and on the Masters Programme in Tropical Architecture at the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henrique Urena in Santo Domingo. He has been lecturing at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine since 2003. Steve holds a BFA Honours degree from The School of Visual Arts in New York; an MA Distinction from Goldsmiths College in London where his MA supervisor was the internationally renowned curator Professor Sarat Maharaj. Ouditt was subsequently a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, Holland.

Steve Ouditt 

With recent events, the subject of mental health has been thrust into the spotlight both abroad and in Trinidad and Tobago. Such happenings as the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut, the release of the Academy award-nominated film Silver Linings Playbook, which features a number of characters with mental health issues, and the carting off of Cheryl Miller – an employee of the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Child Development – to the St Ann’s Psychiatric Hospital after an outburst at her job, have all stirred conversations about emotional, psychological and social well-being. Artist Steve Ouditt engages with these concerns in his latest exhibition entitled Steve Ouditt Proceeds to Mental Health. His display of 133 drawings and collages will open to the public on Thursday March 7, 2013 at Medulla Art Gallery, 37 Fitt Street Woodbrook, Port of Spain. It is Ouditt’s first solo exhibition in Trinidad, in eighteen years. more
