Ian Cale was born in North Yorkshire in 1970. He studied painting at the Norwich School of Art and graduated in 1991. His has had numerous solo and group exhibitions and has maintained a balance between his role as a Tutor in Fine Art and that of his own practice as a Visual Artist. His work has often explored the role of memory and its links to interior spaces.
For the past two decades his creative output has focused on documenting the visible signs of conflict in what was East Germany. This has led to a huge archive of photographs, paintings, large scale observational drawings and the collection and classification of found objects. OST: Architecture Conflict Occupation is an ongoing project that documents abandoned civilian and military locations in what was the DDR. It has become an important social document recording how individuals, the State and Germany as a whole choses to acknowledge architecture that has direct links to conflict and occupation.
