Nathan Coley, artist in residence during the Lockerbie trial at Camp Zeist will deliver his inaugural lecture as Henry Moore fellow in sculpture at the University of Dundee in DCA tomorrow.
The University is one of the first in the UK to merit the appointment of two Henry Moore fellows back to back but the Henry Moore foundation was so impressed by the success of the previous residency arrangement with Simon Starling that they awarded Duncan of Jordanstone another two year fellowship.
Nathan Coley was awarded a Creative Scotland award last year and will be using it to investigate constructed urban space, humans' relationship with the environment and why we choose to live in cities. Nathan will be comparing a number of locations including Edinburgh's New Town with Rannoch Moor, Los Angeles and Death Valley and Rotterdam with the reclaimed wilderness of the Zeiderzee.
Based in Dundee, Nathan has exhibited worldwide and was recently featured in the major survey show "Here and Now". The lecture will provide an opportunity to hear about the processes and relationships involved in his ambitious projects, which consider the social and aesthetic value of the built environment.
The lecture will take place in DCA Cinema 1 on Wednesday 9 January at 4pm. The lecture is free and open to the public./ENDS
