==Life and work== Richard Grayson (born 1958) is British artist, writer and curator. His art practice encompasses installation, video, painting and performance. He investigates ways that narratives shape our understandings of the world. His art and curatorial practice focus on narrative and the visual arts, belief systems and material expression, and ways cultural practices allow translation between the subjective and social/political realms. Grayson was a founder member of the Basement Group〔The Basement Group http://www.locusplus.org.uk/information/history〕(1979–1984) in Newcastle upon Tyne. The Basement group was an artists' collective that focused on experimental time based and performance art practices. It has been described as "unique in this country (United Kingdom ) in combining two functions: it is an 'exhibiting society' for a group of six artists working in time based media (mostly performance and video), and it has up to the present provided a venue for any performing artist wishing to present work (Newcastle )." 〔Arnolfini Brochure from http://www.rewind.ac.uk/documents/John%20Adams/JA024.pdf〕 Grayon's work has been exhibited at Matt's Gallery, London;〔His 2005 exhibit at Matt's Gallery was (reviewed by Lillian Harris ) in ''The London Review'' in January 2005〕 SMART Project Space, Amsterdam; Art Unlimited at Art Basel 2005, Switzerland; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia; Artpace, San Antonio, Texas〔Richard Grayson at Artpace, San Antonio, Texas http://www.artpace.org/artists_and_curators/richard-grayson〕 and included in the 17th Biennale of Sydney 2010,〔17th Biennale of Sydney 2010 http://www.biennaleofsydney.com.au/about-us/history/2010-2/〕 "THE BEAUTY OF DISTANCE: Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age" and ARSENALE 2012: The First Kiev International Biennale of Contemporary Art 2012,〔ARSENALE 2012: The First Kiev International Biennale of Contemporary Art 2012 http://arsenale2012.com/participants/〕 entitled "The Best of Times, The Worst of Times.
