Matthew Cornford

About

For over ten years Matthew Cornford has been working with John Beck to explore the history and significance of UK art schools. The ongoing Art School Project aims to develop an understanding of the role of art education in towns and cities across the country since the middle of the 19c. This has resulted in numerous exhibitions of photography, texts and archives. In 2023 they completed a Meadow Arts and Hereford College of Arts public art commission for the Station Approach residential building in Hereford. Matthew Cornford teaches on the fine art programme at the University of Brighton.
