Time Bomb: Last Drop of Water, centres around the looming catastrophe we face across all 24 time zones.

The installation is part memory, part fear and fear born of memory.

David Jacobson was born in Namibia, (the Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world), and now finds the world potentially dying in one.

While the politics of needless phenomena play themselves out, we are in danger of destroying the very thing that makes our planet unique, that gave us life and gives us life. Water.

The installation was presented by Brooke-Walder Fine Art at Gallery 54, Shepherd Market, London.

The British Art Fair presents a showcase of the very best Modern and Contemporary British Art for sale. The British Art Fair runs from 28th September to 1st October 2023 at the Saatchi Gallery.

In 2023 David Jacobson’s artwork will be exhibited for sale by Brooke-Walder Fine Art situated at Stand 5, Gallery 1 on the ground floor of the gallery.

The Schlossgut Schwante Sculpture Park provides a rare environment to explore sculpture in Northern and Eastern Germany, located only 25 km outside of Berlin and 45 minutes from Berlin-Mitte. The sculpture park opened to the public in 2020 with its inaugural exhibition Sculpture & Nature, showing works of leading international artists including Jean Arp, Dan Graham, Björn Dahlem, Gregor Hildebrandt or Hicham Berrada. Featuring new commissions from David Jacobson and Paul McCarthy, the exhibition explores relationships between art and nature.

TIME SPACE EXISTENCE is an interdisciplinary project involving artists, architects, and designers bringing small and large scale installations. The exhibition, organised by the European Cultural Centre – Italy, takes place in the beautiful gardens of Giardini della Marinaressa, Venice.

“Social Distancing/Footprints” is the sculpture that best illustrates the connection, and segue between the stone sculptures intended for the Venice Architecture Biennale that was to open in May 2020 under the auspices of The European Cultural Centre in the Giardini Della Marinaressa and Earth Lung the site-specific sculpture made for Open Space exhibition in the gardens,  and my response to Covid19.

Ironically perhaps the original set of footprints were made in 1982 when I never used water. The second pair were made to be included in the Biennale with the stone sculptures. Footprints have always interested me as a signifier for gravity and also of humankind’s presence on earth and the moon. With the arrival of Covid19 and social distancing, I had an opportunity to include these pieces in a purposeful way. May You Live in Interesting times indeed!

For a number of years, I have been installing a sculpture garden of my own work in my home in Camaiore. These sculptures include those that expressly address my concerns about water and the abuse of this precious natural resource. I have for the past two decades used water and stone as the predominant materials.
