James Schofield Artist, Curator & PhD Researcher

James Schofield is an artist, curator, PhD researcher within Exhibition Research Lab, Liverpool John Moores University and current Manchester Editor of Corridor8. His research is focused on artist-led practice in the UK post-financial crisis and the relationship it has with neoliberalism, globalisation and network culture.

Taking into account the impacts of these core aspects of contemporary existence the research explores how they have shaped and continue to influence self-organised artistic practices within the confines of the art system, and the strategies practitioners develop and employ to create organisational models ‘alternative’ to these governing forces to try and maintain autonomy between digital and physical spaces.
