Victor Burgin

He has worked with photography and film, calling painting "the anachronistic daubing of woven fabrics with coloured mud".

[4] His work is influenced by a variety of theorists and philosophers, most especially thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, Henri Lefebvre, André Breton, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes.

From 2001 to 2006 he was Millard Professor of Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

He is currently Professor of Visual Studies, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton.

In 1986, Burgin was nominated for the Turner Prize for his exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Kettle's Yard Gallery in Cambridge and for a collection of his theoretical writings (The End of Art Theory) and a monograph of his visual work (Between).
