Maria Fusco, Ursula Burke, and Michelle Hannah join Marcus Jack to explore how the complex and often violent societies produced by devolution have functioned as both a subject and working context for artists.
Art after Devolution is hosted by Marcus Jack, a curator and writer based between Exeter and Glasgow. His research looks for counternarratives in visual culture through analyses of infrastructure, statehood and socio-economics, with particular emphasis on artists’ film. He lectures in Contemporary Art and Curation at the University of Exeter. Follow him on socials @marcusfjack or online at MarcusJack.com
