Alan Currall is an artist, lecturer and researcher. He currently teaches in the Department of Sculpture & Environmental Art at The Glasgow School of Art.
Currall’s research is a practice-based inquiry into knowledge and belief, as mediated through the construction of identity. From the early 1990s Currall has been producing and exhibiting artwork broadly addressing this theme, predominately using lens-based media, and often foregrounding the staging of the self. In recent years this investigation has turned its focus on relationships between the Lived Environment, Imaginary Histories, and Fictioning the Self.
Currall’s work has been shown widely across the UK and internationally, and is represented in Arts Council England, City of Hull and City of Glasgow Collections. In 2002 he was selected for the inaugural Jerwood Platform award, and in 2003 was short-listed for the Beck's Futures Prize.
