He finally left to move to the Highlands, where he is a creative arts technician at UHI Inverness. He has also been a youth worker over the years, including a long stint at Boomerang in Dundee.

  Alexandra Ross

  (Last updated 2016):
  Originally from Scotland, her practice and research largely locates itself in the interstitial spaces of artistic and curatorial activity. Exploring the scope and efficacy of conversation-as-method in an attempt to gather layers of nuance relating to practice and practitioners that all too frequently fall off the record and into silence. Attentiveness to the location and activation of the social space for encounter has drawn her to work with food with a compulsion to create a convivial environment for conversation, experimenting with the architectural and social permutations impacting upon the resulting exchange.

  She is currently Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Centre for Curating the Archive (CCA), Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town. Her research at CCA explores the conversational processes at play within contemporary art practice as they relate to the object housed in the museum archive.

  She read an honours law degree, followed by a Masters in Museum and Gallery Studies, a Master of Fine Art and a PhD in Curatorial Practice. In 2014, she was Curatorial Fellow with ATLAS Arts, on the Isle of Skye. In 2015, she was a tutor at the Vessel/ MADA International Curatorial Retreat, Bari, Italy and writer in residence at Skaftfell, Centre for Visual Art, Seydisfjordur, Iceland working on an upcoming publication on Dieter Roth.
