Anthropology in the Professional World - Monster Chetwynd | Artist

We study humanity in all its aspects: from our evolution as a species, to our relationship with the material/digital world, and our vast variety of social practices and cultural forms.Our department is one of the few in the country that combines Biological Anthropology, Social Anthropology, Material Culture and Medical Anthropology to give you a truly broad-based anthropology degree. The breadth and depth of this interdisciplinary approach is reflected in our teaching and research.

Anthropology in the Professional World seminar with Monster Chetwynd, Turner Prize nominated artist

Monster Chetwynd graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in painting (2004), following a BA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Art (2000) and a BA in Social Anthropology and History at UCL (1995). Known for her bric-a-brac style performance pieces, featuring handmade costumes, props and sets, Chetwynd describes her work as ‘impatiently made’, often re-using cheap materials that are easy to process and to use by the many performers she invites to participate, emphasizing the notion of collective development that informs much of the artist’s work. She has performed and exhibited internationally, and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2012.This event is part of the Anthropology in the Professional World seminar series co-convened by Alex Flynn and Hannah Knox.Credit: © Monster Chetwynd, courtesy Sadie Coles HQ, London.
