Students on the MA Fine Art degree will unveil a new exhibition next month (27th May) when Punctuated³ launches at The Collection.
The exhibition, which features the work of thirteen artists using diverse media and subject matter, will see the Courtyard Gallery divided into 13 different sized sections. Each has been randomly allocated to an artist, who has created new work especially for the dimensions of that space.
Each area is a third of the size of the one before it, with artworks varying from over two metres to just under two centimetres. The size, which provides the title for each piece of work, was the only constraint for the artist.
The format suggests a sense of generosity towards the artists, who were encouraged to create work guided by their own interests whilst paradoxically working within the constraints of a specific size. The idea grew from a conversation between staff and students about issues of hierarchies within curation and society at large.
Artists: Henry Allen / Louise Chalmers / Alexandria Frances Clow / Jacob Denness / Michelle Forrest-Beckett / Christopher Kane / Charlie Leffler / Yuen Shan Ling / Hannah McKinlay / Nathan Newton / Orinta Pranaityte / Kezia-Marie Wattle/ James Woolley
Punctuated³ will be exhibited in The Courtyard Gallery in The Collection from 27th May – 25th June 2017. Open 10am-4pm, last entry at 3:45pm.
