Paul Noble (b 1963) and Georgina Starr (b 1968)
The Gallery of Everything, together with artists Paul Noble & Georgina Starr, present IF I HAD A DREAM IT WOULD BE A GOOD DREAM: the first joint exhibition of drawings, sculptures, films, performances, readings and events, by the award-winning British artists.
Inspired by and dedicated to James Starr (1941 - 2025), the posthumous author of the show’s title, IF I HAD A DREAM IT WOULD BE A GOOD DREAM conjures ghosts, stains, miracles, dust, remnants, melodies, eavesdropping, pressing monsters, lonely laments, re-animations and eternal dancers, all set across two floors of a former barber’s shop on Chiltern Street, W1.
Paul Noble is a contemporary artist known for his monumental graphite ode to urban planning: Nobson Newtown (1998).
Noble’s meticulous practice is both satirical and devotional, and draws from a diverse range of sources, including ancient Chinese scrolls, 18th century pornography and brick walls. Paul Noble was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2012.
Noble’s work has been exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, Collections include Tate Britain (London) and Museum of Modern Art (New York).
