Edward Christie,
Founding Member.
Edward is currently working on his PhD in the History of Art at University College London. Before, he received his MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art, and he completed his BA at UCL.
In his research, Edward favours interdisciplinary approaches which synthesise perspectives from the arts and sciences. He is currently working to reform the history of art against climate change – drawing upon fields as diverse as 20th century French philosophy, modernist experimental engineering, and contemporary Earth system science. In another project, he explored the interrelation of anatomy and art in 17th century Europe, focussing on the production, dissemination, and significance of anatomical atlases to the development of surgery. This research inspired the founding of Reforming Anatomy, which was established to support collaborations between contemporary artists and medical doctors, challenging the divisions which have developed between the disciplines.
