About
My research combines art practice, spatial theory and political philosophy to understand the relationship between art, space and governance.
Recent and ongoing projects focus on London Heathrow, its neighbourhoods and airspace. In 2019 will be curating an exhibition and trans-disciplinary programme of events 'Air Matters. Artists Learning from Heathrow' at Watermans Art Centre, London TW8 0DS, 8 Oct - 31 Dec. This event has been developed in partnership with Watermans Art Centre, Kingston University and Richmond University and is supported by Arts Council England.
Research interests include
- Art and cultural policy, including the role of art and art institutions in regional, national and international relations
- Artistic approaches to knowledge; art in relation to science and technology studies (STS)
- Cities, especially London and its peripheries
- Art in relation to air, airspace and atmospheres
- Political Theology
Applications for postgraduate study are welcome.
