Documentary projects

Alexandra Moschovi is a senior lecturer at the University of Sunderland. Alexandra’s research has concentrated on the institutionalisation of photography in the 1980s and 1990s, exploring how its belated accommodation in the modern/ contemporary art museum ushered in an ontological reassessment not only of its properties as a fine art practice, but also of the museum’s foundational principles.

Having completed BA studies in Photography in Athens, Greece, Dr Alexandra Moschovi graduated from Goldsmiths College, London in 1997 with an MA in Image and Communication. In 2004, she was awarded a doctorate title in Art History by the Courtauld Institute of Art, London for the thesis “Photo-phobia and Photo-philia: The Neglect and Accommodation of Photography in British Art Institutions in the Postmodern Period”, completed under the supervision of Professor Julian Stallabrass.

Since 2002, Dr Moschovi has been lecturing in Art History, Critical Theory, and History and Practice of Photography at the Courtauld of Art and Newcastle University as visiting lecturer, and, since 2006, at the University of Sunderland as a full-time lecturer.
