NEW TEAM MEMBERS

Introducing new members to the British Art Network team from Tate and Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art

Bryony Botwright-Rance,

Networks Manager, PMC

You may know me from my work with the PMC’s Doctoral Researchers Network, Early Career Researchers Network and Art Trade Seminar, which I have been running since 2020. I have worked at the Paul Mellon Centre since 2016 and have watched the expansion of the British Art Network’s rich programme of activities, vocational development and research support opportunities from afar, admiring the commitment and engagement of the Network’s Members and the enthusiasm of the BAN team. I was thrilled to be invited into the fold last October and include BAN under my networks remit at the PMC.

Since then, I have worked on the inaugural Curatorial Forum, BAN’s annual conference, and participated in the appointment of the 2023 Research Groups and Emerging Curators Group. We have spent hours in discussions over Zoom, on trains, over coffee and ever so occasionally in person, designing the upcoming programme which will continue to be values-led and responsive to the needs of the Members and the state of the curatorial field today.

Anthony Tino, Networks Administrator, PMC

I am thrilled to have recently joined the PMC as Networks Administrator, working with and across PMC’s networks including the Early Career Researchers Network, Doctoral Researchers Network and, of course, the British Art Network with PMC and Tate. With a background in curating and artist publishing, my practice has historically prioritised the inclusion of artists from underrepresented backgrounds within projects and platforms which emphasise intercultural exchange.

Prior to joining PMC, I worked at Camden Art Centre as Interim Exhibitions Assistant while simultaneously working on independent curating and completing my MA in Arts Administration & Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths, University of London. In the past, I have cofounded two artists’ book-related platforms, and have worked with other subject-specialist platforms, extensively with contemporary art from the SWANA (South-West Asia, North Africa) regions. Having been born and raised in New York, I am very excited for the opportunity to provide an international perspective to practitioners and researchers and excited to be supporting this initiative as an arts administrator.
