Susan Collins, an artist who works across gallery, public and online locations often employing transmission, networking and time as primary materials, will present the lecture "Transporting Skies."
Collins' works include the BAFTA nominated Tate in Space, commissioned for Tate Online (2002); Underglow (2005-6), a network of illuminated drains for the Corporation of London; Seascape(2009), a solo show for the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea, and Brighter Later (2013), a light installation for the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford driven by live weather data.
Since 2002 she has investigated the relationship of time to place and landscape through a series of lens-based year-long live internet transmissions from remote locations, the latest of which is Dell Quay (2022-23) which is currently transmitting live from Sussex on the English Coast and can be seen in her April 2023 exhibition at Truckenbrod Gallery in downtown Corvallis.
Collins is currently Head of Research and Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.
