Pope, Simon. ‘You Asked About Validity.’ OAR: The Oxford Artistic and Practice Based Research Platform Issue 2 (2017), http://www.oarplatform.com/asked-validity/.
About the author:
Simon Pope is an artist whose work is preoccupied with human, social relationships in a more-than-human world. It grapples with participatory art’s engagement with new materialism, often taking the form of conversational events, film-making, and written correspondence. Simon was a member of the net.art group I/O/D (1992-99), a NESTA Fellow (2002-05), Reader in Fine Art (2005-10), and represented Wales at the Venice Biennale (2003) and holds a doctorate in Fine Art from the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford (2012-15), supervises MFA and PhD students for Transart Institute in Berlin & New York, and convenes a “posthumanism” seminar at OCADU, Toronto, and the After The Anthropocene working group at the University of Toronto.
