Alex Coles is a critic and editor. DesignArt (Tate Publishing, 2005), his first book, triggered a debate about limited edition design. Coles then edited the anthology Design and Art (MIT Press/Whitechapel Publications, 2007), which argued for a deeper understanding of the interface between art and design. The Transdisciplinary Studio (Sternberg Press, 2012) and the EP (Sternberg Press 2013-) series followed.

In 2018 Coles began writing about music, leading to Crooner (Reaktion, 2023) and Tainted Love: From Nina Simone to Kendrick Lamar (Sternberg Press, 2023).

Publications

Edited books include: Site-Specificity: The Ethnographic Turn (Black Dog Publishing, 2001), Design and Art (MIT Press/Whitechapel Publications, 2007), and EP (Sternberg Press, 2013-) Vol 1, 2, 3.

Academic posts

In November 2011, Coles was appointed Professor of Transdisciplinary Studies, School of Art, Design and Architecture, University of Huddersfield.
