James Webb (born June 20, 1975 in Kimberley, Northern Cape) is a South African artist best known for his interventions and installations incorporating sound.
[1] Often referred to as a "collector of sounds," Webb is interested in the role that aural events play in our everyday life.
[2] The physical presentation of the work, including the installation space and the logistics of speakers, are also deliberate choices for Webb.
[4] Webb received his BA in Drama and Comparative Religion at the University of Cape Town in 1996.
The first, "Xenagogue," was edited by Anthea Buys, and published by the Hordaland Kunstsenter Press in 2015, for his exhibition of the same name.
