Dr. Janice McNab (she/ her) joined the MA Artistic Research in 2015. She is currently co-head of Master Artistic Research alongside Jasper Coppes.
Janice is a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Glasgow School of Art, and Amsterdam University. She was a Paul Brach Visiting Artist to Cal Arts, LA in 2021, and a 2022 Fellow of The Women’s International Study Centre in Santa Fe, working on Galaxy Ballroom, A Dance with Hilma af Klint, published by Jap Sam Books, 2024. This focussed on her post-doctoral artistic research at the University of the Arts, The Hague, in which fabrics are seen to hold both feminist and ecological legacies.
It was launched at her accompanying solo exhibition Galaxy Ballroom, Galeria Fermay, Palma, Spain, 2024. In 2026, Janice was artist-curator of The House and The Forest, an intervention in the rooms of Can Balaguer, a Spanish stately home. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication and is the first iteration of her new research focus on wood and trees. Janice is represented by Galeria Fermay, Palma. Her work is on permanent display at Modern One, Scottish National Galleries, and recent commissioned writing is included in Lois Dodd, Hannibal Books and Kunstmuseum, The Hague (2025); and Forms of Life: Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian, Tate Modern Publications (2023).
