Eleven established artists have gone back to art school and taken up residencies at Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon (CCW) Colleges, as part of the Artists Access to Art Colleges (AA2A) project.
For each artist the return to working within an art college for the past six months, surrounded by students, technicians and excellent facilities has been a considerable change; a detour from their familiar, often isolated studio surroundings. For some of the artists, their time spent in the college has helped them develop new ideas and form new strands to their practice; for others it has been an opportunity to further their practice in the presence of enthusiastic student practitioners.
This exhibition brings all 11 artists together to display the resulting work from their respective residencies within CCW. While representing the varied methods of production present in contemporary art practice and acting as a showcase for emerging and mid-career artists, DETOURS will highlight the importance of organisations like AA2A in developing artists’ careers.
The Artists Access to Art Colleges (AA2A) project provides placements for visual artists and designer makers in Higher and Further Education institutions across England. In 2011/2012, AA2A schemes will run in 32 institutions, providing 128 placements nationally. In the last 12 years, over 1,200 participants have had the opportunity to undertake a period of research or realise a project, using workshops and supporting facilities in participating fine art and design departments.
Curated by Chelsea College of Art and Design MA Curating students – Grazyna Dobrzanska-Redrup, Courtney Griffiths, James Harper and Daisy McMullan.

Transformation & Revelation

Wimbledon College of Art’s Senior Lecturer in Theatre Design, Peter Farley has designed and curated The Society of British Theatre Designers exhibition, Transformation & Revelation. The exhibition, which is showing at the V&A from 17th March until 30th September 2012, follows its great success in Cardiff, where approximately 5,500 visitors saw the show and its trip to the Prague Quadrennial, where it won both of the special awards for Sound Design and was seen by approximately 40,000 people.
Exploring the theme of transformation, this exhibition reveals contemporary designs for performance by over 30 British Theatre Designers. It provides an intriguing insight into the designers’ creative process and includes costumes, set models, photographs, drawings, sound productions and lighting designs.
The exhibits include WCA alumnus Richard Hudson’s designs for the Royal Ballet, Pathway Leader of MA Drawing at WCA, Michael Pavelka’s designs for Off the Wall, LCF/V&A Research Fellow, Donatella Barbieri’s film Encounters in the Archive and distinguished former Course Director of Theatre Design at CSM, Ralph Koltai’s designs for An English Tragedy. The exhibition also includes the work of the 2011 overall winner of The Linbury Prize for Stage Design, Hyemi Shin, a recent graduate of WCA.
Admission is free, so why not take a look this weekend?

Switch/Over
Opening Event: Wednesday 18 April 2012, 17.00 – 20.00
Dates: 16 – 20 April 2012

Conceptualised by Taneesha Ahmed and Holly Black and organised collectively by MA Curating at Chelsea College of Art and Design, SWITCH/OVER brings together six artists who explore the current divide between analogue and digital technologies.
The exhibition will coincide with the final deactivation of analogue television on 18 April 2012, marking this significant moment with an evening of performance, commissioned for the show.
Due to rapidly changing technologies, sizable shifts are continually experienced regarding the ways in which we record, process, store, and preserve forms of audio and video. The resulting dialogue between analogue and digital media has lead to conflicting concerns with regards to the preservation of both formats.
The analogue is disregarded and fetishised in equal measure, with an increasing sense of nostalgia towards older, tangible technologies such as film photography and the evocative sound produced by tape and vinyl recordings. Fluctuating attitudes towards technologies alternate between apathy or contempt by those whose lives it has transformed.
SWITCH/OVER offers a perspective from which the audience can experience these continual shifts prompted by the imminent death of analogue broadcasting. Binary opposites such as materiality and immateriality, virtual and reality, analogue and digital are amongst the themes communicated by the presented artworks. These works activate and encourage ongoing discussions surrounding the disposability and preservation of technologies within contemporary society.

Invitation: PANOPTICON / The Nunnery Gallery, Bow Arts
Four international artists explore observation concepts in our time
….If cameras really add to security of the individual and was where the oppressive regime begins… just what is the right balance between freedom and safety?….
Originally a phrase coined in the 18th century by Jeremy Bentham, a Panopticon allows an observer to observe all inmates of an institution without them being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Initially, this was utilised as a mechanism of control but now, many years on, the paradigm has apparently changed as control mechanisms are now associated with safety and security.
The exhibition displays different positions and interpretations of four international artists (Germany, Austria, UK) exploring current concepts of observation.
Artists:
Jakob Malek / Nicole Prutsch / Billy-Paul Rousseau / Patrick Rowan
PANOPTICON
The Nunnery Gallery, Bow Arts
Private View: Wednesday, APRIL 18th 6pm-9pm Exhibition dates: APRIL 19th – 22nd

VLP Inter-connections 2012
Inter-connections is a group show of ten artists, the work is focused on the theme of connections both with people and within sites and places. This is the second collaboration the artists have had together and the first time they will be showing their individual practices.
The collective will however, be collaborating once again and will be attempting to create connections across the night – across the world. This will climax with a special kind of party starting from 8pm, British time. The collective can promise not just a group show of work but an experience designed to create connections, through connections, by connecting.
Arrive early to experience the event’s progress and stick around for a new and hopefully exciting experience.
Exhibition times…
