Profile Information

First & Last Name :: LJ Klee

Company / Organization :: Sidelong/ Nottingham Contemporary/ New Art Exchange

I am an Artist/Talent : (ระบุตามจริง/มีผลงานแสดง): Art Director, Creative Director, Writer

Professional Info :: I have a background in art history having studied towards a BA at University of Nottingham. My studies spanned western art from early modernism to contemporary practice, but I particularly focused upon the museum setting and institutional critique. My research explored early Land art as a form of institutional critique as opposed to environmental art.

I have worked within the arts throughout the past 5 years, and I have curated a number of events and exhibitions at various venues in Nottingham and Lincolnshire. I have worked at art spaces including: Nottingham Contemporary, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, New Art Exchange, and The National Centre for Craft and Design, in roles including curation, education, community engagement, marketing, and public speaking.

Since 2011, I have collaborated with Jo Dacombe as part of ‘Sidelong’ which explores hidden everyday spaces that contain intrigue and excitement.

I currently do arts writing. I publish writing on the blog artofficiallysweetened.com and I regularly write for New Art Exchanges blog.

About Me :: I am an arts professional in England. I am an art historian, I curate site-specific artworks, and I write about art for various places. I am researching moving to Thailand in 2014 whilst continuing an artistic practice.
