Andrew Sneddon

Andrew Sneddon is a Scottish artist who holds an MA in Fine Art from Glasgow School of Art. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has also studied at the British School in Rome. He is currently engaged in a PhD at Edinburgh College of Art and lectures in Contemporary Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University.

His practice is concerned with exploring our complex relations with space and place, in particular how place influences the decision-making process of the artist. The artist in residence at Yorkshire Sculpture Park has played an important role in encouraging and suggesting further research into place by considering the importance of serendipity and sagacity, first coined by Horace Walpole in 1754, but only appearing in print for the first time in 1833.

He has recently co-authored The Slender Margin between the Real and the Unreal, with Gavin Morrison and Kiyoshi Okutsu, (London, 2007), Host with Alec Finlay, (London, 2008) and Host with Jeremy Millar, (London, 2009).
