Tim Marlow
Born 1963 Long Eaton, Derbyshire – Lives and works in London
The award winning radio broadcaster, exuberant television host, prolific art writer and gregarious interviewer, Tim Marlow has completed a full year as Director of Artistic Programme at the Royal Academy. With a Masters degree from the Courtauld institute, Marlow has an expansive portfolio and a toe in every art world pot. Founder of Tate: The Art Magazine in 1993 and editor until 2003, Marlow has also written for Art Monthly, Blue Print, The Times, The Guardian and the Independent. Many of his articles and podcasts are based on interviews with some of the most compelling artists of our time including Ai Wei Wei, Anselm Keifer and Doris Salcedo. The most raucous interview, Is Painting Dead?, occurred on Channel 4 for the live Tuner Prize debate on which Tracey Emin’s tantrum made television history. Marlow’s voice has traveled to the ears of art audiences since his Sony Award winning, Radio 4 program Kaleidoscope (1991-98), but he has also appeared in person for lectures and panel discussions in more than forty countries.
The Royal Academy is an institution built by artists, run by artists, and at its core is an art school providing an annual 57 places. As director of White Cube, London since 2003, Marlow has fostered long term relationships with artists in all stages of their careers by maintaining the focus of artist-led gallerist. He also has a well-developed eye for complex and developed emerging art practices. Responsible for the overall creative vision including exhibitions, collections, library, learning and architecture, there is no doubt Marlow will broaden the Royal Academy’s audience, while ensuring that artists drive the institution.
