Academic work I have 8 over years teaching practice working with BA and Ma Students on a range of courses from BA Fine Art through to to MA Documentary Research. Based at UWIC, (University of Wales, Institute Cardiff) between 2002 and 2007 teaching first of all in 'Photo Visual' and latterly 'Time Based Media'. Where I developed workshops and programmes around site specificity and place paying attention to developing skills around developing & processing ideas, working collaboratively, professional practice, presentation of work for exhibition in gallery and non- gallery situations and documentation of projects, developing research.My responsibilities ranged from delivering lectures, workshops, tutorials and seminars to marking students work, developing timetables and teaching structure and attending parity and course meetings. I have been regularly invited to give guest lectures and workshops on my practice or run electives at universities including: Chelsea College of Art, Dartington, U.W.I.C Cardiff, Plymouth, Newport College of Art, Aberystwth on Fine Art and Performance studies courses, London College of Communication . Presenting a range of contextual lectures, seminars, practical workshops around site based practice and looking at ways of approaching and interpreting place. I am particulary interested in working with students on developing independent research and processing this material. Current: I am running short courses at Chelsea College of Art and at LCC around Reading the City. Looking at walking, mapping and narrative in relation to city scapes. I have also been working as a thesis tutor for students at the University of Plymouth. Alberto Duman and I are developing a 4 day intensive workshop for people who would like a toolkit for practical deriving, understanding cities as a system and deciphering architecture and town planning. This is a project that we are touring to different arts/ architecture venues and eductaional establishments. To book us email via this site.
