Professor Andrew Renton (staff profile page)
A writer and curator, interested in the different languages and registers that might be possible in response to the work of art, and the discourse surrounding curatorial practice. As a curator his recent concern has been with the ethical encounter with object, its physicality and context. Interests in the nature of collections and contemporary art's relation to market.

Gilda Williams (staff profile page)
A London correspondent for Artforum since 2005, interested in the collective process – among artists, curators, art writers and other voices – which results in the production of discourse in art. I see my role in this process as a practicing contemporary art writer, teacher, editor and researcher.

Simon Martin's practice is an attempt to reflect upon material culture.  He is interested in how we understand ourselves through social structures, mythologies and collective memory evidenced in art objects, mass media and the built environment.  Employing various strategies of appropriation the work takes the form of moving image, installation and photography.

Seers’ work takes the form of performances, which narrate the histories of strange transformations. These acts draw inspiration from television and film biographies, which attempt to explain an artist’s work as evolving from their biography.

The relationship between urban regeneration, gentrification and culture; the culture and politics of contemporary capitalism from social precariousness and creative economy ideology to art and financialisation.

Annie Whiles

Sculpture, installation, photography and video. Relationship and negotiation with the ‘stuff’ of the world, from the readymade to the handmade, images to objects, playing with ideas of value, profile, association and meaning of individual and collections of objects. White's objects/arrangements occupy a fluid space, on one hand demanding critical discourse, and on the other their own ambiguous and intuitive logic.
