Release the Archive: Nina Edge
About
Reflecting on four decades as an artist, Nina Edge is joined by art historian and curator Alice Correia and the Bluecoat’s Bryan Biggs to discuss her long engagement with the arts centre.
The panel will consider the development of Edge’s art as reflected through the archive, from early shows at the Bluecoat to inclusion in Tate Britain’s Women in Revolt. The challenge of documenting such a broad multi-disciplinary art practice will be addressed alongside wider questions about how art histories are made and what is excluded from them.
Event supported by DACS whose Art 360 Recollect award enabled Edge to catalogue her own archive. This coincides with The National Archives current support of a catalogue of Bluecoat extensive archives.
Nina Edge is an artist and writer known for a subversive use of craft and industrial forms to present new power narratives, using humour and a range of tailored strategies to engage audiences.
Alice Correia is an art historian and curator specialising in late twentieth-century British art, with a focus on Black and South Asian diaspora artists and feminist and de-colonial practices.
