Recently the L Magazine and K48 have also featured his work and writings. Baker had consistently shown in New York and Los Angeles for the last two years, which led to his first NY solo show at Foxy Production last December. Baker’s debut solo show in Los Angeles, at Roberts and Tilton opened this June. Seven of his recent works were obtained by the Anita Zabludowicz Art Trust in London, along with other collections in NY, LA, Belgium, etc. Baker has a solo show in Chicago this September, and a large collaborative installation scheduled for next January at the Weston Gallery in Cincinnati.
