Erin Russo is an art historian and curator based in Glasgow. Her practice is often collaborative and considers how documentation can authentically and comprehensively represent artistic intent in performance.

Owing to performance’s ephemeral nature, this collaboration frequently explores alternative methods and techniques for documentation, resulting in richer, more intentional, and at times artistic outputs. Erin has a BA in Art History & Visual Culture from Franklin University Switzerland, an MSc in Museum Studies from the University of Glasgow, and an MLitt in Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) from GSA.

She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow, her research focuses on the potential for expanded performance art documentation in nuanced reimagining of performance art histories.

She joined the Saltspace Committee in 2025, with an aim to support emerging artists in Glasgow through her interest in artist and network-led collaboration and her background in charity administration and grant funding.
