Charlotte Cullinan
Charlotte Cullinan, based in London, is currently Professor of Fine Art at Kingston University, London and was a selector for the New Contemporaries 2012 (Liverpool Biennial and ICA, London). She has worked with Jeanine Richards since 1998 as an artists’ duo, working primarily within the area of painting, and the relationship of paintings to the structure of the exhibition, as well as painting as performance. They are interested in the use of the exhibition as a material context within which discrete objects are choreographed and re-arranged to give a sense of instability or slippage of material and meaning. Their work includes making plastic paintings meant to deliberately turn away from the idea of “strong” painting to risk inconsequence and collapse.
