The Cornish Art Research Network (CARN) brings together researchers working in the field of Cornish modern and contemporary art. It is led by Matt Retallick (Manchester Metropolitan University) and is part of the Institute of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter Cornwall Campus. As a group, we come together to produce art historical, critical, and theoretical responses to the art and artists of Cornwall, offering new perspectives, challenging perceptions, and enlivening debate. Our current research areas include Cornish modernism, Cornish artistic identity, Cornwall in contemporary painting, and the Cornish artistic diaspora.

CARN is currently seeking members. To register your interest please send an email to m.retallick@mmu.ac.uk with a brief explanation of your research focusses and academic affiliations. Membership is free and is open to academics and post-graduate researchers.
