King's Cross Curators

Anglo-French curating partnership Michael Pinsky and Stéphanie Delcroix have been selected to coordinate the first three years of a nine-year arts programme that is set to turn the King’s Cross area into a destination for discovering international contemporary art. Michael and Stéphanie were appointed as curators by the King's Cross Advisory Art Panel and took up their post in November 2011.

RELAY, their programme’s title, is inspired by the continual carrying and preserving of the Olympic flame and by King’s Cross as an international transport hub and a place in transition.

RELAY plays with the notion of the human chain, the transfer from one means of transport to another and the phasing of the development scheme.

Michael Pinsky and Stéphanie Delcroix have worked collaboratively for 8 years on projects such as 'Panacea' with artist duo Walker & Bromwich, John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, Cornerhouse, Manchester, and the CCC, Tours, France and Lost O, a programme of urban interventions which challenged traditional perceptions of road use to mark the opening of the largest European ‘Shared Space' scheme.

The Art Panel members include:
Andrea Rose, Director of Visual Arts at the British Council, Jenni Lomax, director of the Camden Arts Centre, James Lingwood, Co-director of Artangel, Ann Gallagher, Head of British Art at Tate, art collector Doris Lockhart, curator Flora Fairbairn, Caroline Jenkinson, Head of Arts and Tourism at the London Borough of Camden, and Robert Townshend from Townshend Landscape Architects.
