Kitty Anderson appointed director of LUX Scotland, moving from The Common Guild
Kitty Anderson has taken on the role of director at LUX Scotland, an organization that supports artists who work with moving images. She makes this move from The Common Guild in Glasgow, where she curated pieces by prominent artists like Katinka Bock and Carol Bove, among others. In 2013, she played a key role in co-curating Scotland's exhibit for the Venice Biennale, featuring artists such as Duncan Campbell and Corin Sworn. Campbell's contribution won the Turner Prize in 2014, while Kerbel's work received a nomination in 2015. Besides her new position, Anderson teaches at Glasgow School of Art and collaborates with advisory committees for Stills and Berwick Visual Arts. Before The Common Guild, she was the associate director at The Modern Institute.
