Mark Cousins Lecture Archive

The Mark Cousins Lecture Archive is a unique set of digitised and fully catalogued recordings spanning nearly 30 years of Mark’s career at the AA. Totalling over 250 lectures. The cataloguing of Mark’s lectures has been both an amazing education and a labour of love for all involved.

The AA would like to thank Joel Newman and the Audio-Visual Department who spent many hours painstakingly recording the lectures over the past decades. Likewise, thanks are due to Gabriela Jimenez, Samaneh Karimelahi, Tian Pan, Ke Bo Tsai, Hlib Velyhorskyi and Chuxi Zhou for the almost impossible task of producing catalogued summaries of all the lectures. In addition, we are grateful to George Haughton and Ryan Dillon for design, and John Hampson and Michael Moawad, for weaving their magic and making to all the digital parts fitting together. It is hoped that this new resource will be a vital tool for future, current and past students to engage with Mark’s ideas – and to experience Mark, in full flow, in his natural environment, the AA Lecture Hall.
