Josephine Ellis

CV

Josephine is the doctoral candidate in the SNSF funded research project Activating Fluxus. She recently obtained her MA in History of Art from University College London, and prior to this, graduated from the University of Durham with a BA in History. 

PhD project

This doctoral project will focus on the documentation, conservation, and stabilization of Fluxus material objects, as well as past and present practices of collecting, storing, and displaying Fluxus. Particular attention will be paid to the traces of use accumulated by Fluxus forms in their afterlives and the value of patina, with their textured implications for future activations of Fluxus works.
