Biography
Having curated and exhibited with the Goldsmiths-affiliated collective Crossing Lines, Nick Scammell completed his MA Photography at LCC in 2014. He was short-listed for the Photoworks OPEN14, and invited to exhibit in This New Feeling at Central Saint Martins in 2015. NYZ, a collaborative work, was profiled in the first Photoworks Annual. That same year, Nick co-founded AFTER, a mobile curatorial project which showcased recently-graduated artists through exhibitions and digital residencies. From 2018 to 2019, Scammell co-directed Offshoot, a gallery and studio space, as well as overseeing its mentorship programme. Currently investigating art made on tabletops (@tabletop_travels), he lives and works in London.
