Interim Show at the Nunnery
Now that our assessment is all out of the way, our focus has shifted to our interim show ‘Futura Bold/Futura Oblique’, which is at the Nunnery in March. We’re splitting into two shows for this as there are so many of us! It’s quite exciting as we have manged to get two external curators on board, one for each week. We’ve sorted out our proposals and such for the show, and I am currently trying to establish a web/social network gathering for the show. The first of the private views is goning to take place during the next First Thursday! Here is some info anyway from our press release:
This annual show showcases work from new artists working in a range of media. The show comprises two semi-independent exhibitions: Futura Bold and Futura Oblique, spanning two consecutive weeks. Part of the experimental nature of this year’s show lies in the decision to invite two guest curators, Juan Bolivar and Julia Alvarez, to negotiate relationships between what will inevitably be a diverse selection of works.
The choice of external curators reflects a desire to encourage an open dialogue between subject and media, whether painting, film, installation, drawing, animation, or sound, while exposing the work to wider critical and artistic contexts.
Wimbledon College of Art’s MA Fine Art interim show falls at an exciting stage of the MA course. The artists involved take this as an opportunity to showcase their evolving ideas ahead of their final exhibition in September 2011. The show provides an opportunity for visitors to engage with the new work and fresh ideas of a dynamic group of emerging young artists.
