Studio C4

Theo Reeves-Evison is a writer, editor, and Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Birmingham School of Art. He is currently working on a multi-year research project entitled ‘Speculative Natures: Contemporary Art and Interventionist Ecology’ which investigates how processes of speculation and storytelling have the capacity to organise environmental activities around imagined futures. He gives talks, writes articles and books, and occasionally curates public events.  

Prior to taking up a Leverhulme fellowship he worked as a Senior Lecturer in Theoretical and Contextual Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Goldsmiths College and an MA in Critical Theory from the University of Nottingham. Current PhD supervision covers a diverse range of topics in contemporary art, cultural theory, and the environmental humanities.

Theo is the editor, together with Jon K. Shaw, of Fiction as Method (Sternberg, 2017), and has published in magazines and journals such as Frieze, Parallax and New Formations. In 2018 he edited a special issue of the journal Third Text on the theme of ‘ethico-aesthetic repairs’ with Mark Rainey, and his monograph Ethics of Contemporary Art: In The Shadow of Transgression is to be published in 2020 by Bloomsbury Academic Press. He has made invited presentations and chaired discussions at institutions such as the Southbank Centre, MACBA, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s Studium Generale.
