Wayne Lloyd

Wayne Lloyd is a Senior Lecturer in Fine Arts within the Department of ACE – Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of the West of England, Bristol. His academic and artistic work is deeply rooted in performance and narrative exploration of cinema.

His research interests center on the performative retelling of film plots, using inventive narrative devices to generate humor, tension, and meaning. These performances often result in interdisciplinary exhibitions incorporating drawing, photography, and dance. His work challenges formal boundaries, embracing a 'nonart' quality that disrupts conventional interpretations. This approach offers a fresh alternative to traditional film criticism, echoing the lively, informal act of recounting films to friends—with all their violence, wit, and sensuality.

Wayne Lloyd has contributed to significant projects such as Blow Up (London, 2012), Community Without Propinquity (MK Project Space, 2011), Unspooling, Artists and Cinema (Cornerhouse, Manchester, 2010), and Last Tango in Paris (Wild Gift, London, 2006). He is also the author of two books: Nu Town (2008) and Wayne Winner’s Art House Cinema (Immprint Books, 2004), further demonstrating his engagement with urban culture and cinematic aesthetics.
