From 2015 until 2019, I undertook a practice-based PhD at the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image, London South Bank University under the supervision of Annet Dekker and Andrew Dewdney. The resulting dissertation is a written account and theoretical framing of the three curatorial experiments I undertook as part of the research, which are also showcased on this website: This Image is Not Available in Your Country / Very Hard To Find / Curatorial Consultancy Service with Cassini on #exstrange.
A number of scholars and curators have greatly influenced my work, including Marialaura Ghidini, Olga Goriuonova, Joasia Krysa and Magda Tyzlic-Carver. From the latter, I borrow the expression 'not-just-art-curating', which has also proved very useful when organising this online archive of my practice.
Abstract and sections of the thesis available on request.
