Project Curator: unearthed Exhibition

Andrew Cochrane

Andrew Cochrane obtained his PhD in Archaeology in 2006, researching the imagery from Neolithic Europe. Since this time, he has taught 'Human Origins' and 'British Prehistory' at Cardiff University. For the last four years he has collaborated with Ian Russell, expressing and exploring archaeological theory. Major endeavours include: 'Reflexive Representations: The Partibility of Archaeology' and the 'IRAC' interventions. Both have been exhibited or performed at a number of locations across Europe. Andrew works closely with Metamedia Lab and archaeolog at Stanford University (USA). In 2008, Andrew was the Assistant Curator for the 'Ábhar agus Meon: materials and mentalities' exhibitions in Dublin; he worked as a consultant for the European Commission funded 'Trans Form Actions Project'; and a Researcher for a Lottery Funded project, for the artist Jennie Savage. Andrew is the co-author with Ian Russell of Visualizing Archaeologies: A Manifesto, in which they addressed the connections between art and archaeology. Andrew is an active Field Archaeologist, working on a diverse array of sites, including seventeenth century smelting factories, Roman barracks and prehistoric rock-arts sites.

Current Research

Andrew is Project Curator: unearthed Exhibition at the Sainsbury Institute and the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Arts. The 'unearthed' exhibition will run from June-August 2010 at the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Arts.
