Nick Ferguson works at the intersection of visual arts practice, critical theory and political geography. Recent and ongoing research has centred on Heathrow Airport, its neighbourhoods and airspaces in order to understand the part played by art and visual culture in running and contesting the airport. This forms part of a wider concern with the possibilities and limits of art for environmental knowledge making, the role of art in the environmental strategies of organisations and the future of international cultural collaboration under the conditions of net zero. He lives and works in London.
His work has featured at/in Wyspa Gallery, Poland, Tate Britain, Tate Modern, WRO Biennial, Poland, Watermans Arts, London, as well as various publications dedicated to the study of the Anthropocene, cultural geography, futures, geo-humanities and mobilities. He holds a BA from Oxford University, an MA from the University of the Arts and a PhD from Goldsmiths, University of London. He is Associate Dean for Research at Richmond University and Senior Lecturer in Critical and Historical Studies at Kingston School of Art.
