Document and Location announce new member Lizzie Lloyd

We are delighted to announce that Lizzie Lloyd is the latest member to join the Document and Location research group.

Lloyd is a Bristol-based art writer and researcher. Lizzie Lloyd’s practice turns on the translation of encounters at the intersection of art, history and literature, into words. She interrogates how the matter of writing about/with/to art constitutes individuated responses that are moment and site-specific, alive to the landscape of particular images, words, audiences and situations. She likes to see what happens when writing about art bears witness to such coincidences of attention. Or when it is encouraged to enact critical and imaginative leaps of association, spurring subjectivities to make themselves felt through affective description, experimental rendering and serendipitous detour.

She has contributed widely to leading international art publications including Art Monthly, Art Review, Frieze and This is Tomorrow. Her writing has been commissioned by numerous organisations in the UK and Ireland, and she has been writer-in-residence at Arnolfini, Bristol; Art Writers Group, Plymouth, and at the CCA, Brighton.

We are thrilled to welcome Lloyd as the latest member of Document and Location group following her recent Arts Council funded project developed in collaboration with Katy Beinart, Acts of Transfer, which documents and reactivates a selection of past artworks that all contain elements of social engagement or public participation.
