Degree show piece

My degree piece is really difficult to photograph as it is opposite a staircase. To give an idea of scale the light over the picture is approximately 5meters high. 

It has been a very busy time. Getting business cards printed and organising an event as part of the Whitstable Biennale Satellite program which will take place the day after our Private View.  Nearly all done!

Dylan Shipton - Artist in residence

Dylan Shipton is spending time as artist in residence in Uni over the period of our degree show. It will be possible to see a collaborative work done with a group of students if you come to our Degree Show! Today a few of us went down to Limbo Arts in Margate to see how his installation Punishment Park was progressing and to discuss the installation process.
The private view for this exhibition is this Friday at Limbo.
Next week some students will aid and collaborate with Dylan in installing a shelf installation. I have made an 'object' to be included in this. (a task given to us by Dylan)

There is this wonderful  online zine  -------->

                   

Following my engagement with objects I have contributed a couple of pages to a travelling zine project that they are doing at the moment.

Degree Show

And just to give you a taste this is a detail of my degree show installation see below.

Pre degree show

I am experiencing the frantic last few days to get my piece completed, also get the statement written and the research work done. Full on!

Pretty well everything in this photo has been altered in one way or another! This was taken at the very beginning of the installation process. I will post a picture of the work after the PV on 30th May!

Dissertation results in

At last the agony of not knowing is over. I passed and with a good grade so I am very happy. Listen all you dyslexics out there. You might have to work twice as hard and the bibliography might drive you insane but with determination you can do it. I got an A grade. (a high or low one I don't know) but if I can do it after all these years ... it is worth the effort. I should mention that I did have some support.

I enjoyed my subject. 'How shrines relate to Contemporary Art Practice'. Now I can work on my degree show project without worrying.

My proposal for Le Havre nature reserve was not accepted. Somehow I am relieved as it would have been very close to the Whitstable Biennale which starts the day after our Private View on 30th May.
Note this diary date!

return to Rouen

A return to this magical Art College campus; 'L'ESADHaR'  in Rouen. This time to see, and to take down our work exhibited in the exhibition Cathedrals 1914-2014. Somewhat different from our brief historically but no worries! Mine was exhibit no 1. and I really liked the installation. A good antidote to a very fine exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. Free and well worth a visit. A beautifully curated exhibition

Below is a taste of this beautiful medieval town. Sadly this was bombed during the 2nd world war.
