Sacha Craddock (born 6 August 1955) is an independent art critic, writer and curator based in London. Craddock is co-founder of Artschool Palestine, co-founder or the Contemporary Art Award and council member of the Abbey Awards in Painting at the British School at Rome, Trustee of the Shelagh Cluett Trust, and President of the International Association of Art Critics AICA UK.[1] She was chair of the Board of New Contemporaries and selection process from 1996 until December 2021.[2]

Biography

Born in New Zealand, Craddock moved to Oxford as a child, and then to London in 1973, where she went on to help formulate[vague] one of the city's most well-known squats on Tolmers Square in Euston.[3] Craddock continues to live communally along with some of the original Tolmer's residents.[4] After completing a degree in fine art painting at Central St Martins, and a post-graduate painting degree at Chelsea School of Art, Craddock began writing art criticism for The Guardian newspaper in 1988, her first review appearing in the 26 May issue of the paper.[Notes 1] Later Craddock was also a regular art columnist for The Times, reviewing exhibitions of up and coming Young British Artists (she was the only journalist to review the pre-YBA exhibition: Freeze, which featured early work by artists such as Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, and Mat Collishaw).[5] In 1996, Craddock became chair of Bloomberg New Contemporaries (formerly Young Contemporaries).[6]

Craddock has judged many art prizes, such as the Turner Prize in 1999[7] and the John Moores Painting Prize in 2008.[8] In 2005, Craddock co-founded ArtSchool Palestine (ASP) with Charles Asprey, and Samar Martha, in order to promote and support Palestinian artists and aid their participation in international contemporary art exhibitions and biennales. ASP has held many events and exhibitions, including As If By Magic, to which the British artist Damien Hirst lent his support.[9][10]

Sacha Craddock was the co-founder of Bloomberg Space and its curator from 2002 to 2011.[11] Craddock's curatorial contribution included Gillian Wearing at IVAM Institut Valencià d'Art Modern in 2015,[12] Turner Prize 2017 at Hull, Strike Site at Backlit Gallery in Nottingham in 2018,[13] the SPECTRUM Art Award 2018 at Saatchi Gallery, and Creekside Open and Exeter Contemporary Open in 2019.[14]
