We are thrilled to welcome Rob Lye to the Eltham College community as our Artist-in-Residence for the 2025–2026 academic year. Based in a studio above the Art Department, Lye will be an active presence on campus, engaging with students and staff through workshops, events, and a range of creative activities.
As part of the residency, Lye will also present an exhibition at the Gerald Moore Gallery in 2026. Further details about the exhibition and his programme of activities will be shared in due course.
We look forward to an inspiring year of artistic collaboration and exploration.
Rob Lye (b. 1982, Wiltshire) is a London-based interdisciplinary artist and musician working across moving image, Ambisonic sound, installation, sculpture, performance, and curatorial practice. Through these varied forms, his work explores ecological narratives, technological infrastructures, and the politics of materiality and perception.
He holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University. He has presented work at venues including Modern Art Oxford, Café OTO, Iklectik, ICA, LUX, Whitechapel, and Outpost.
