Bucks Uni Studio | Update
The studios have been cleared ready for the degree show build. As with the previous years this time always seems to arrive abruptly just as the work is flowing. The space I had this year was 8ft x 4ft, sometimesa challenge with the larger paintings when the ‘grab’ space had already been grabbed.
It is an odd time for the part time group I am in as we have already started our final ‘year’ and need to keep the momentum going so we don’t slip between the focus on the full time student’s timetable. We have kept the conversation about our work moving with each other as we have had no formal crits etc. and this has been very helpful. When we are back in September things will very quickly speed up and we will need to manage our time well. Although the course is longer for us we obviously have the same number of elements as the full time students. We do however get the extra benefit of having the opportunity of helping with five exhibition builds and seeing how the layout is taylored each year to the content and the students requirements !
How does it work for you? Can you request a specific space or build for your work? Is it organised by negotiation or by tutors?
Please comment….
