Founder and former Artistic Director / CEO

Nicola Triscott is a cultural producer, curator and writer, specialising in the intersections between art, science, technology and society.

She was the founding Artistic Director/CEO of Arts Catalyst, one of the UK’s most distinctive arts organisations, distinguished by ambitious artists’ commissions that engage with science, including notable projects by Tomas Saraceno, Ashok Sukumaran, Aleksandra Mir, Otolith Group and Critical Art Ensemble, and the international dimension of its programme of exhibitions, events, research and publications.

Nicola has curated numerous exhibitions and events for Arts Catalyst. She lectures and publishes internationally, including books on art and technology in the Arctic, art and space, and ecological art. She blogs at nicolatriscott.org on the critical inter-relationships between the arts, humanities and our technoscientific society.

Nicola left Arts Catalyst in April 2019 to take on the role of CEO at FACT, Liverpool.
