James Prevett is a British artist and teacher living in Helsinki since 2013. His practice involves both studio based making and social sculpture. Both explore the understanding of personal and/or collective bodies (and also minds). He often works with other people to bring an open-ended poly-vocal approach to art making. This includes projects like the Nomadic Sculptures, Out of Office (OOO) Radio and The Organic Sound Society. He sees his teaching is a part of this process exploring practice-based and collective inquiries. He is a Lecturer in Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts of Uniarts Helsinki and spends his free time in radio, books and walking his dog Lulu.

Whilst on board Godzilla, James wants to record lots of sound, to sail and make broadcasts together with the crew and the mobile radio station OOO Radio. This will culminate with a broadcast on the 1.8. for World Marine Protection Day. 

“The Baltic Sea is very present on an everyday level. I walk by it everyday and swim in it at least once a week. I like to sail on the sea. The feeling of moving through the water by wind power is one of the best feelings there is.”
