Graham Gussin (1960)

Biography

Graham Gussin (b. London, UK 1960) studied at Middlesex Polytechnic (1981-85) and Chelsea School of Art (1989-90). He featured in an Art Now exhibition at the Tate Gallery (1998). He began teaching at Chelsea School of Art in 1993 and then at Goldsmiths College, Central Saint Martins School, at the Fine Art department at Kent University. Since 2011 he has taught at the Slade school of Fine Art and is currently an associate professor in sculpture. He has exhbited widely throughout the UK and internationally. His artistic practice uses 'sculpture, text, photography, moving images and other media [to] explore relationships between time and space using both material and immaterial approaches.  I am interested in making work which uses location, site and atmosphere with reference to cinematic spaces and narratives in order to cause friction and potential between ideas of the real and the imagined.'
