About me

Dr Steven Paige is Programme Leader for MA Fine Art at UWE, part of the postgraduate provision in the School of Arts, College of Arts, Technology and Environment. He is the Programme Lead for Fine Art MA and teaches across Printmaking, Photography and Curating. He is a Senior Fellow HEA.

As an artist, educator and researcher, his practice investigates personal and public histories, developing creative reinterpretations of the accounts and activities of archives both real and imagined. His creative practice spans video and time-based works, installation, performance, print and artists’ publishing. 

He has worked as an artist educator in higher education and with schools, galleries, museums and with community partners. He has experience of socially engaged practice, curating and working across several artist-led projects in the Southwest UK, including developing Artist Associates’ programmes for local and regional artists. He has taken on roles for various committees as an advisory artist, including Visual Arts South West and the Artist Council for Artists’ Newsletter.

In 2019 he completed an AHRC 3D3 practice-based PhD, Meeting the Archive through an Interdisciplinary Artistic Practice at University of Plymouth. Over 2016/17, he was awarded a Kluge Research Fellowship at the Library of Congress, Washington DC, USA, through the AHRC International Placement Programme within the Moving Picture Library Collections. Steven was awarded an Archive Research Residency at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, New York in 2023 - Curiously Nonconforming: Desiring the Archival Encounter. He is a member of Digital Cultures Research Centre (DCRC), the Centre for Print Research (CFPR), and Visual Arts Material Practices (VAMP). He is the lead investigator on the Countering Archives project launching in Bristol Spring 2026.
