Jambon are a recently formed arts group of five members (Andrew Maughan, Andrew Sandercock, Graeme Durant, Mike Pratt and Richard Moat).

Leading both an independent and collaborative practice, the members of JAMBON use the model of the group show (although they do not limit themselves to this outlet) when exhibiting together - in order to cross-examine their disparate commonalities.

Recent activity by the independent members include Brut, Brut, Embassy Gallery, Edinburgh, UK (Graeme Durant), Cumberland Sausage, Extraspazio Gallery, Rome, Italy (Mike Pratt) and Bilderberg 2010: Don't call it a pow-wow! Auth Charlie Skelton, The Guardian, June 2010 (Andrew Maughan).
