Ed Kettleborough is an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded PhD candidate at the Universities of Bristol and Exeter. His research focuses on the artists who emerged from the Royal College of Art between 1958 and 1963, including David Hockney, Pauline Boty, Frank Bowling, RB Kitaj, Allen Jones and Derek Boshier. Their early work is both understudied and consistently characterised as British Pop Art, occluding a thorough conceptualisation and understanding of the group's achievements. More generally, Ed is interested in art after 1945, neo-Dada, Pop and the neo-avant-garde in a global context, as well as any theoretical engagement with continental philosophy, critical theory and psychoanalysis.
