DOCUMENT AND LOCATION AWARDED UWE RESEARCH GROUP FUNDING FOR 2021 PROGRAMME

We are delighted to announce that Document and Location have been awarded research funding from the Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education at the University of the West of England, Bristol for the third consecutive year.

The funding of £4,500 will support the expansion of the research group and its programme of public activity. This will include supporting the group’s contributions to national and international academic events, the addition of new members to the group, supporting new publishing and a return to programming public events following the lifting of social restrictions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Document and Location is a research group developed by academics from Fine Art, Photography and Architecture at The University of The West of England, Bristol, in partnership with Foreground. Conceived of and convened by Simon Morrissey, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art and Director of Foreground, the group’s research will inform a public programme of discursive events and publishing delivered in partnership with Foreground throughout 2021.

Document and Location provides a structure through which its members as both academics and practitioners can intervene critically in recent discourses around place and space that have been prevalent across Architecture, Fine Art, Geography, and Photography. Document and Location members include Lee Elkins, Sophie Hayes, Simon Morrissey, Sophie Warren and Jonathan Mosley, Mike Ricketts and Aaron Schuman.
