Three Camberwell BA Drawing alumni – Kathryn Whittall-Williams, Theo Turpin and Jane Dalton will be showing at the Recent Graduate exhibition at The Affordable Art Fair in Battersea. Curated by Jotta the exhibition offers a platform for 18 emerging artists whose practices test new perceptions of the archetypal landscape. The artists selected for ‘Land Without A Map’ reconsider natural and spatial elements, while questioning conventional visual assumptions.

Exhibition open: 11-14 March 2010
Curatorial talk: Saturday 13 March, 13.00

Last Summer saw it grow to include Frank’s Cafe and Campari Bar and a number of special projects by The Sunday Painter, Lucky PDF and Field. The The Sunday Painter, Lucky PDF and Field are all run by or involve Camberwell graduates.

Earlier this month the Art Area hosted a lecture entitled ‘Flesh Jubilation: Eros in the Art of the Sixties’. The lecture was given by the pre-eminent academic and queer theorist Dr Jonathan Katz as part of the Second Year Key Ideas lecture series.

“Jonathan Katz works at the intersection of art history and queer history, one of the busiest intersections in American culture, and yet one of the least studied. A specialist in the arts of the Cold War era, he is centrally concerned with the question of why the American avant-garde came to be dominated and defined by queer artists during what was perhaps the single most homophobic decade in this nation’s history.”

Jonathan Katz is in the UK as the visiting Terra Foundation Scholar at the Courtauld.

This Is Why We Meet is an investigation, showcase and celebration of collaborative working practice within the arts. Independent curators Pat and Trevor have selected 4 students from each college within the University of the Arts London. Students will become part of a collaborative team and work together intensively for a one-week period prior to installation. Work produced will be exhibited within the Wieden+Kennedy window on Hanbury Street in East London.

The Camberwell team is; Joel Stephens (BA Graphic Design), Chris King (BA Drawing), Carl Guilhon (BA Graphic Design) and Philip Li (BA Ceramics).
