The Pedagogic Research Hub Presents:
Methods in our Madness: Effective Methodologies for Pedagogic Research in the Creative Arts

Date: Wednesday June 12, 2013
Time: 17:30 – 19:00
Location: RHS East Space, London College of Fashion, 20 John Princes St, London

Building on the argument that art and design lecturers have particular sets of skills, knowledges and practices that make them excellent pedagogic researchers (Susan Orr, Pedagogic Research Hub lecture, April 2013) the LCF Pedagogic Research Hub is hosting a discussion of effective research methodologies for creative arts contexts. Panel speakers Nicholas Addison and Hilaire Graham (CLTAD) Katrine Hjelde (Chelsea) and chair Alison James (LCF) will share experiences of conducting research either from a disciplinary point of view (e.g. Fine Art and Architecture) or an educational theme (inclusivity, NSS, curriculum design, PPD etc); their contributions will be followed by an open discussion with the audience.

All are welcome to come along, listen and contribute. Please RSVP to Alison James.

Visitors that have a physical disability which may affect their mobility are asked to contact us in advance to discuss their access needs. Information about the building can be found on the ‘Locations’ area of our website, please note that not all areas of JPS are accessible. The event space at John Princes Street is accessed via one flight of stairs. Visitors who will need support to enter or exit the building are asked to make themselves known to the LCF Events  team when booking.

Fashion Colloquia Series and IFFTI are Calling for Ideas/Proposals Requiring International Cooperation

Dates: 11th and 12th September 2013
Location: London College of Fashion, 20 John Princes Street, London

The fashion colloquia series started as a series of four fashion-based events organized to coincide with the fashion weeks in London, Milan, Paris and New York. These have been well received and accordingly we are now organizing a second series commencing in Amsterdam (January 2014).
The International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) is an international association of leading higher education institutes dedicated to promoting excellence in teaching and learning in fashion and fashion related programs.

We are calling for something different for this joint research-based event (something in addition to our traditional call for academic papers, presentations, performances etc). We want to support new international research projects in Fashion….

Who should attend?

  • Individuals with ideas/proposals
  • Individuals/representatives of institutions looking to become part of an international research project…

Our aim is to create a space to present your ideas and facilitate ‘match-making’ with interested individuals and institutions.
We anticipate this will lead to the beginning of some exciting international research projects that will contribute to the future development of fashion studies globally.

To assist you (and us) in organizing the event please submit your idea/proposal according to the criteria presented in the Project/ideas Proposal Form.

Closing date for submissions of ideas is 30th June 2013

To ensure the potential of these research projects we are also supporting an alternate forms of funding session. In this way, we will enable proposed ideas to proceed to become live active projects and produce results.

We are also introducing monitoring/updates of these successful research projects at future colloquia events. Thus, enabling sharing and learning from experience so that we this might encourage new opportunities for the future.

For all correspondence, including submissions of ideas/proposals, papers, presentations etc please email Ian King at: colloquia@fashion.arts.ac.uk

The raw honest beauty of illustrator Claudine O’Sullivan

Posted on by

This stunning illustration by final year student Claudine O’Sullivan was judged the winner of the The Coffee Art Project 2013. Chosen from 85 entrants, her watercolour ink and pencil illustration on Khadi paper, will be auctioned to raise funds for Project Waterfall, a charity that work alongside coffee producers to provide water filtration in Tanzania and other coffee producing African countries.

Claudine, who is graduating from BA (Hons) Graphic and Media Design, Illustration and Visual Media pathway, will be showing her final work at London College of Communication’s Summer Show Three from 21 – 28 June 2013.

A traditional illustrator specialising in portraiture, she works mainly in pencil, watercolour and ink and her vivid, abstract portraits are gaining her plenty of praise, with a solo exhibition under her belt in 2013 and an exciting collaboration planned next year.

Her documentation of her time working at an Orphanage in Jaipur, which made up part of a solo exhibition in March, impressed the Managing Director of Allegra, who funded the Coffee Art Project. And a similar trip to Tanzania to photograph and document the work done by Project Waterfall may also be on the cards for early next year.

Claudine has also collaborated on a campaign with domestic violence charity Southall Black Sisters that works with women who have suffered domestic abuse. And with such raw honesty a feature of her beautiful illustrations it’s no surprise charities are keen to have her help them highlight the human faces behind their causes.

Peter Blake: Four Decades – Exhibition at Chelsea Futurespace

Peter Blake: Four Decades

Prints selected by the artist

Exhibition runs: Wednesday 15th May 2013 – 28th July 2013

Chelsea Futurespace proudly presents Four Decades an exhibition of prints by Sir Peter Blake, selected by the artist. Blake’s work takes its influence from the realms of pop culture, literature, music and contemporary art. The suites of prints in the exhibition include his series of Appropriated Alphabets, Alice in Wonderland, The Butterfly Man (Homage to Damien Hirst) and Homage to Schwitters. Other highlights include prints from the Found Art series, screenprints from collage and portraits of musicians including Chuck Berry, Brian Wilson, Ian Dury, The Everly Brothers and The Clash. The show covers the diversity and dexterity of Blake’s practice as an artist working in print across the last four decades.

Sir Peter Blake is renowned for his influence on Pop Art and culture and is frequently referred to as the ‘Godfather of British Pop Art’. He has worked with bands and musicians including The Beatles, Oasis and Paul Weller, designing the iconic cover for The Beatles’ ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. Blake’s work transcends the divisions between high art and pop culture, with visual influences from artists such as Kurt Schwitters to music icon Frank Sinatra.

An internationally acclaimed artist, Sir Peter Blake (born 1932) studied at Gravesend Technical College before attending the Royal College of Art. He subsequently taught there and at other institutions including St Martin’s College. A major retrospective of his work Now We Are 64 took place at the National Gallery in 1996 and at Tate Liverpool in 2007. Sir Peter Blake was knighted in 2002, for services to art.

Exhibition in association with CCA Galleries and Paul Stolper Gallery.

As with each exhibition at Chelsea Futurespace, a new publication will accompany the show, published by CHELSEA space.

Professorial Platform Lecture: Professor Marina Wallace

Posted on by

Marina Wallace-Professorial Platfrom-Invite-1000px

Professor Marina Wallace personally invites you to her Professorial Platform Lecture event, on Thursday 23 May at 18:30

Professor Wallace will be introduced by Professor Martin Kemp FBA, Emeritus Professor in the History of Art at Trinity College, Oxford University.

This lecture is mainly based on Professor Wallace’s research for Volume X of La Cultura Italiana published by UTET in 2010. The volume is in Italian and, by translating it, Professor Wallace can now share it with colleagues, students and friends. The relationship that each citizen has with his/her own country and culture is mediated by personal experiences matured during a lifetime. It is a delicate task to identify what motivates the consciousness of “insiders” of a culture whilst, at the same time, stimulating the interest of outsiders. To be able to observe the prodigious artistic production of one’s own country from the point of view of another culture and another genetic material offers fresh cues. Curiosity, prodded by geographical and physical distance, helps to identify in a schematic way those characteristics that define a country’s visual culture in a decisively distinctive way.
