The Fabric of Fieldwork
13 April – 23 June 2012
Brunei Gallery, SOAS.
Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG Opening hours: Tuesday – Saturday 10h30-17h (Thursday late night opening until 20h)
‘The Fabric of Fieldwork’ is a duet exhibition of WESSIELING www.WESSIEILNG.com; LCF Senior Lecturer and visual artist and Susan Ossman (Professor in Anthropology, University of California, Riverside and painter). Drawing on their ongoing ethnographic research in East Asia (WESSIELING) and North Africa (Ossman), the exhibit brings together paintings, sculpture and installations. By apprehending the hijab (veil) or the armour like sleekness of the Chinese dress together, their work does not simply suggest a meeting of different cultural worlds, but opens a new space from which to reanimate issues of visibility, femininity and women’s work, including their own field-weaving as artist/ethnographers. Taking the gallery as a field site, WESSIELING and Ossman take on the role of place-makers. Their work questions the multiple mediation and mimetic processes that shape fieldwork.
A seminar, with renowned international speakers, accompanying the exhibition will be held on site on the 14 April 2012.
Speakers include:
Prof George Marcus (University of California, Irvine),
Prof Carol Hendrickson (Marlboro College),
Prof Mark Nash (Royal College of Art),
Dr Gareth Stanton (Goldsmith’s College),
Dr Glenn Bowman (University of Kent),
Dr Rupert Cox (University of Manchester),
Dr Claire Pajaczkowska (Royal College of Art),
Dr Julie Thomas (American University of Paris),
Dr Katy Hill (Office of Contemporary Chinese Art),
Noah Angell (artist),
Natalia Zagorska-Thomas (artist).

London College of Fashion wins at the Green Gown Awards 2011
The Green Gown Award 2011 presented to LCF
Last night, 3rd November 2011, London College of Fashion triumphed at the Green Gown Awards 2011 with a second win in the Social Responsibility category, having previously won this award in 2007, and a Highly Commended in the Skills category. LCF and the Centre for Sustainable Fashion fought off tough competition from over 240 entries to continue their hugely successful track record at the seventh annual Awards.
The Social Responsibility Award was presented to LCF in recognition for its work with Her Majesty’s Prison Service (HMPS). Funded by Sir John Cass’s Foundation, the project partnered serving women offenders with students and staff from LCF enabling the women to learn valuable transferable skills in design and pattern cutting which in turn contributed to their rehabilitation. The award was picked up by Claire Swift, who headed the team from the School of Design and Technology in working with the female prisoners and Camilla Howarth who was responsible for leading the project. Building on the success of the Unique project, the second phase will take place in the spring term with the School of Media and Communications project taking place at the women’s prison.
The judges commented:
“London College of Fashion’s project is an excellent example of creating a meaningful and effective partnership …whilst small scale, the judges felt that the programme was effective in broadening horizons of staff, students and the often neglected women prisoners themselves. All the prisoners completed the programme and with plans in place for further partnership working, the panel felt that the model was highly transferable and could and should be replicated by other institutions.”
The Centre for Sustainable Fashion (based at LCF) came Highly Commended in the Skills category for their project London Style; a business support programme helping small and medium sized London based fashion companies embed sustainable processes into their everyday practise. The award was collected by Dilys Williams, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion and Nina Stevenson the Education and Curriculum manager for the CSF.
