64 COMPLETED PHD STUDENT PROfILE DR HANDAL Alexandra My decision to embark on a combined practice/ theory PhD came from the desire to shake-up my artistic practice and travel in my thinking beyond the parameters of Fine Arts. I sought an opportunity to channel my curiosity towards other fields of knowledge in order to explore new creative areas for reflecting and questioning. Undertaking a PhD at the University of the Arts London provided me with the guidance, sup- port and environment necessary to conduct such cross-disciplinary research. From the very moment I was interviewed by three members of staff – who eventually became my supervisory team – I knew that this was exactly where I wanted to be. Their involvement with the research centre, TrAIN (Transnational Art, Identity and Nation) in which I became an active member, added a Alexandra Handal, No Parking Without Permission, Jerusalem, Greek Colony, 03.05.08, 10:53, giclée print on Hahnemühle etch ing paper, 40.6 × 30.5 cm, edition 5, 2008 further component to my education. The conversations that transpired from the TrAIN seminars and lectures were particularly important to me as an artist whose visual cultural context has been informed by a number of national territories, cities, cultures, histories and languages. In this frenzied world we live in, where one is expected to produce art under great pressure with little space for experimentation, I found this period of working on my PhD extremely vital for my evo lution as an artist and intellectual. This extended and concentrated pause for learning has allowed me the necessary time to read profusely, immerse myself in thought, experiment, create, conduct field work and develop ideas that bear the seeds for future projects.

BADDELEY Oriana 66 BADDELEY Oriana PROfESSOR BiOgrAPhY Professor Baddeley is Associate Dean of Research at CCW and Deputy Director of the research centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN). She studied History and Theory of Art at the University of Essex. Her doctoral subject, researching the historiography of definitions of ‘art’ in relation to Ancient Mexico, formed the basis for work on the 1992 Hayward exhibition, The Art of Ancient Mexico. She has written extensively on contemporary Latin American art, including Drawing the Line: Art and Cultural Identity in Contemporary Latin America (Verso 1989, co-author Valerie Fraser) and collaborated with Gerardo Mosquera to produce Beyond the Fantastic: Art Criticism from Contemporary Latin America (inIVA/MIT 1996). With Toshio Watanabe and Partha Mitter, (2001–04), she worked on a major AHRC funded project, Nation, Identity and Modernity: Visual Culture of India, Japan and Mexico, 1860s–1940. She is on the International Advisory Committee of the University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art, and the edi torial board of Art History; and is a Trustee of the St Catherine Foundation and the Ashley Family Foundation. rESEArCh StAtEMENt As a co-founder of the UAL research centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN: www.transnational.org. uk); my research is undertaken within the context of globalization, identity studies and contemporary art practice. My earlier doctoral research grew out of attempting to understand the values and meanings of the ancient cultures of the Americas and the ways in which colonization and the discourses of post-colonialism had impacted on the interpre tation of those cultures. With a focus on Mexico and Latin America, I have also worked in detail on the histories of ‘exhibiting’ the art of these regions and explored how traditions of display and catego rization have been responded to within the global structures of contemporary art expositions. Running throughout much of my writing has been a fascination with the ways in which different geogra phic contexts impact on definitions of creative practice and how such definitions are then inter preted. In recent years, my publications have included a comparative discussion of the work of Ernesto Neto and Gabriel Orozco, and an explo ration of the work of Teresa Margolles in relation to stereotypes of Mexican identity. In 2011, working with a previously unknown archive of his work, I curated an exhibition of Swiss pho tographer Fred Boissonnas that explored themes of identity and myth in the area of travel photo graphy. I am continuing to research around issues of cultural stereotype and ideas of authenticity, particularly looking at the associations of death, gender and danger with cultural otherness.
