Professor Andrew Livingstone Ph.D is leader of CARCuos at the University of Sunderland and is both an artist and academic. His research interests include the examination and expansion of contemporary locations in respect of the traditional positioning of ceramics – this is explored both through practice and the development of critical theory within the expanded ceramic arena. This also extends to the development and expansion of critical art and craft discourse. Andrew is particularly interested in the area of conceptual practice within ceramics and as a consequence the development of theory around this emerging arena. His ongoing research explores the integration of new media and non-ceramic intervention into ceramics and how this challenges and enhances both practice and theory. Andrew completed his PhD in 2008 titled ‘The authenticity of clay and its redefinition within contemporary practice: ceramic familiarity and the contribution to expansion.’ He is also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
