Rachel Marsden

Name:
Rachel Marsden
Role:
Curator

I am a freelance curator and writer where theoretical research lies in the domain of East and South Asian contemporary art and curatorial practices. Current PhD studies at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD), UK, in association with the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts (CCVA), investigates the role and definition of the “transcultural" curator, specifically in relation to the translation and interpretation of contemporary Chinese art in the West since 1980.

In addition, I am a book artist, book-binder and paper-maker who, through the use of text, photographic documentation and interactive audience participation, investigates notions of archiving, repetitious actions, such as typing and printing, lexicality and translation, by exploring the role of the artist as a curator, and participants as collaborators.

"Language is my land, words are my plants, letters are my seeds - let's see what I can grow."

Currently based between Stafford, UK, and Shanghai, China.
