Duncan Campbell (born 1972)[1] is an Irish video artist, based in Glasgow.[2] He was the winner of the 2014 Turner Prize.[3]
Campbell was born in Dublin, one of the five children of Paddy and Veronica Campbell, entrepreneurs who founded a catering business, Campbell Catering, later sold to Aramark. Paddy Campbell is a noted sculptor, having been, he said, inspired when in his 50s by his son, and three of Duncan's siblings are also active in the arts, as a film producer, a screenwriter and an actress.[4]
Campbell grew up in Swords, County Dublin,[5] and studied at the private secondary Sutton Park School. He took a BA at the University of Ulster (1996) and a Masters in Fine Arts at the Glasgow School of Art (1998), remaining resident in Glasgow afterwards.[1][4]
