About the Artist
Robert Good is an artist based in Cambridge UK. He is editor of A New Dictionary of Art and founder and director of the artist collective Art Language Location. His podcast Something To Do With Art features discussions with experimental artists about what they do and why.
Good uses the framework and conventions of contemporary art to offer fresh perspectives. He says: "My work is frequently propositional in nature. I like to analyse a situation, try to understand it and then make work that represents it, reflecting back both the limitations of my understanding and my responses to it. As such, my work functions in some ways like a scientific hypothesis - it is offered for others to consider, validate or falsify."
