Welcome to resident artist Siobhán Tattan

CPVA proudly welcomes Siobhán Tattan to King’s College London as artist in residence this spring term . Siobhán Tattan was selected from nearly a hundred applications to our open call last year, and will be attending Christopher Hamilton's module on the Search for Meaning. Hamilton's focus on literature and tragedic episodes will complement her own research into the romantic in literature, and explore how gestures in staging, sound, tone, and film are used to uphold a character’s wealth of emotions. After attending the lecture series, Tattan will share a residency at Kunsthuis SYB later this year with fellow artist in residence Hester Reeve.

Siobhán Tattan currently lives and works in London. She completed her BA Fine Art at Crawford College of Art and Design, Ireland, and MA Fine Art at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, London. She then went on to earn her PhD in Fine Art at Middlesex University and was artist in residence at the prestigious De Ateliers in Amsterdam (2008-2010).She has exhibited widely, including a solo show at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, and selected group shows at (among others): UCLA's New Wight Gallery, Los Angeles; Smart Project Space, Amsterdam; Monster Truck Gallery, Dublin; TULCA Visual Arts Festival, Galway and Future Film: Celluloid, Camden Arts Centre, London.
