Steven Campbell, Physco [Psycho] Rugs Hosta! (c. 2002)
The Steven Campbell Trust are pleased to announce that art historian Dr Gráinne Rice will give the 2021 Steven Campbell Trust Lecture, the tenth in the series.
This talk will explore Campbell’s discernible Surrealist affinities and representations of crime and violence in his work. From early work such as the 1981 collaborative performance Poised Murder, to the later 2000-02 Psycho Rugs series, Campbell’s work incorporated Surrealism’s interest in crime and the subconscious. His work synthesised ideas and imagery borrowed from artistic precursors with elements borrowed from popular culture, cinema, and literature.
Rice has recently completed a PhD on Campbell at Edinburgh College of Art. The event will be chaired by Leverhulme Fellow, Professor Patricia Allmer (University of Edinburgh).
