Guy Moreton is an Associate Professor in the School of Art, Design and Fashion at Solent University, Southampton and Strategic Lead for Research in the Faculty of Creative Industries, Architecture and Engineering.

He is experienced in creative practice research in art and design, and has been returned to the University sector-wide Research Assessment Exercise 2008, REF 2014 and REF 2021. He has been an external reviewer for REF 2021 in UoA32 Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory; and has significant academic experience as an external examiner on undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes in art and design.

He is co-author, with Alec Finlay and Michael Nedo of Ludwig Wittgenstein – There Where You Are Not (Black Dog Publishing London) and his practice-based-research has been published, presented and exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, notably in the John Hansard Gallery Southampton; the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts UEA and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery; with recent exhibitions at the Fondazione Prada, Venice Biennale 2018, the Neubauer Collegium, University of Chicago 2019, and London Art Fair 2020 with Southampton City Art Gallery.
