Meet the Salonnier #3: Sue Jones

Sue Jones is a curator and writer. She's worked with artists for nearly twenty years, at Chisenhale Gallery in London and more recently as Director of Whitstable's contemporary visual art festival, the Whitstable Biennale. She specialises in working closely with artists on substantial projects, often over long periods of time. Many of the artworks she has commissioned have received international recognition. Having recently completed a writing MA, she is currently working on a collection of experimental short works, which exist somewhere between literature and text-based art.

Who are you?
Sometimes a curator, sometimes a writer, currently attempting to work on ways to be both at the same time.

What fascinates you?
Getting lost in other worlds, as a reader or curator or writer.

What do you love?
The British climate and the East Kent coast.

Where are you going next?
Whitstable, mostly, for the next few months – the next Whitstable Biennale is 19 June – 4 July 2010.

What would you like to talk about?
Is the short story merely a poor relation of the novel?

Sue will be joining Rick West and Rosa Ainley as conversationalists at this month's Dr Thursday's Medicine Show, 8pm, Thursday 25th February, Coach & Horses. Do come.
