Dr Matthew Bowman lectures in the Photography Department at Colchester School of Art and on the Fine Art programmes at the University of Suffolk. His research focuses on twentieth-century and contemporary art, criticism, the art market and philosophy in the United States and Europe. He authored an extended essay on Heidegger’s notion of de-distancing, titled ‘Shapes of time: Melancholia, anachronism, and de-distancing’, published in Boetzkes and Vinegar (eds), Heidegger and the Work of Art History (2014). And, in late 2018, his essay on ‘bad painting’ and Martin Kippenberger, titled ‘Indiscernibly bad: The problem of bad painting/good art’ has recently been published in 41:3 of the Oxford Art Journal. He regularly writes reviews for Art Monthly. He has two forthcoming books: an edited collection of essays titled The Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing (I.B. Tauris, 2019) and a monograph October and the Expanded Field of Art and Criticism (Routledge, 2019).
