Tom Groves is an academic, writer, artist and curator. He is Head of the Art Histories Department at City & Guilds of London Art School, Curator and Academic & Education Co-coordinator at the Brixton based Gallery Block 336, and the Programme Leader of BA (Hons) Photography at the University of Greenwich.

Through writing, curating, painting, photography and installation, Tom Groves’ practice shifts between different conceptual registers and formal concerns. Underpinned by an engagement in psychoanalytic theory and a critique of historic and contemporary trends of art’s reception, Groves plays with preconceptions of what constitutes object, place and meaning and questions whether the desire for certainty is driven ultimately by an objectless, placeless and meaningless relation.
