Slade Lunchtime Lectures: Dr Dean Sully - The Illegal Objects of the Misanthropocene Exhibition

Dean Sully will reflect on the making of the Objects of the Misanthropocene exhibition, currently on display in the Octagon Gallery.  He will consider the tensions between the individual voice of the artist and the corporate identity of the institution. This will be concerned with what is sacrificed in the joint venture of producing a public exhibition. 

Dean Sully is Associate Professor in Conservation at University College London’s Institute of Archaeology, where he coordinates the MSc in Conservation for Archaeology and Museums. He is a coordinator of the Centre for Critical Heritage Studies (CCHS) and the Curating the City Research Cluster, National Trust’s Conservation Advisor for Archaeological Artefacts, Emeritus Scientist-in-Residence at the UCL Slade School of Fine Art, Conservator-in-Residence at the Material Museum, and Director of the Illegal Museum of Beyond.
