Latest Exhibitions

The Slade School of Fine Art MA/MFA Show is in its final few days. Catch it 10am-8pm until 16 June 2010 (this wednesday).

It was a very hot and packed private view last Wednesday night and for me
Jayne Wilton, Lindsay Mapes, Rose Davey, Claire Dorsett and Shan Hur's work made the most impact.

The following night I went to see another artist in residence's work,
Fiona Hughes, at Space2 gallery in Watford Museum. Like me, Fiona is artist-in-residence at a school and her residency is also coming to an end. The space at the museum was interesting in itself - an oasis of white sandwiched between the museum's permanent collection. The installation of the work created something greater than the sum of its parts. If you get a chance go see this - its on Thursdays to Saturdays 10am-5pm until 26 June 2010.

The third private view in a row, the next night, was the
Fine Art Degree Show at Buckinghamshire New University. This is still on from 10am - 4pm until Thursday 17th June. My favourites were work by Claire Cunnick, Susan Willis-Hall, Ann Harris and Lindall Pearce.

Exhibitions I will try and get to see over the next few weeks are RA Schools (finishes 27 June), Summer Exhibition,Newspeak: British Art Now, Ernesto Neto and Francis AlΓΏs.
