Biography
I am an artist and writer. My artworks encompass various media, including kinetic sculpture, sound, posters, video and live performance.
I am part of Capital Drawing Group, and a founding member of DRUGG (Diagram, Research, Use & Generation Group). I have written polemical pieces for journals including Mute, Third Text and Art Monthly. Recently I have focused attention on formal art education, particularly on politically motivated artistic interventions and on the role of gallery education and artists in schools.
I have been involved with community and educational projects at the Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Modern, and helped set up the Portman Gallery in Morpeth School. I am Research Fellow in Fine Art at Kingston University.
Publications:
The Work in Progress, Reclaim the Mural, London: Whitechapel Gallery [2013]
Dean Kenning, The Dulwich Horror. H.P.Lovecraft and The Crisis in British Housing: Space Station Sixty-Five [2007]
