We thought you might like a peek behind the scenes of last Friday’s MA Fine Art exhibition which was a culmination of 3 days worth of curatorial workshops at Gasworks. The workshops were a great success, giving students the chance to work with curators Jamie Stevens, Naomi Pearce and Robert Leckie alongside Course Leader Rebecca Fortnum.
As part of its second anniversary celebrations, the Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health Nucleus (BRC Nucleus) is exhibiting the work of Camberwell student Murray Anderson, who won the competition held among students at Camberwell College of Arts.
“We chose Murray’s work as for its visual exploration of psychology, drawing together the beauty of art and complexities of the human mind. We hope that this collaborative competition with Camberwell Art College will run for many years to come.” Professor Matthew Hotopf, Director of BRC Nucleus.
Winning artist Murray Anderson said, “”The award has provided a unique experience and allowed me to consider the interaction between science and art and the practicalities of making public work.”
The exhibition will be on display at the BRC Nucleus throughout the year.

There is a nice little write up over on the Eye Magazine blog about the Design:Key Ideas – Word event that took place last week at Camberwell College of Arts. The event was organised in co-operation with Eye Magazine and guests included Anthony Burrill, Fraser Muggeridge, Marcus Leis Allion and John L Walters.
Sounds like the day was both thought provoking and productive from start to finish, what with Derek Yates (Course Director – FdA Design Practice + FdA Illustration for Sequence and Interaction) kicking the day off with the provocative statement that ‘art school thinking confuses freedom with creativity’, through to the workshop in the afternoon, of which the outcome will form the content of a book that will be published as a giveaway at the Camberwell degree show.

On Wednesday 19 May the Conservation Department at Camberwell will be running an all day event featuring lectures, project presentations, a performance and a round table debate focusing on the college’s Diaghilev costume collection. The event will precede the Victoria & Albert Museum’s autumn exhibition heralding the centenary of the Ballets Russes’ first visit to London.
Back in February at Camberwell Space Theodor di Ricco (who runs Gallery SoToDo in Berlin) and students from Camberwell presented a performance entitled ‘Color Shop Lokal 5′. Previous ‘Color Shop Lokal’ performances have taken place in Berlin and Seoul.
The ‘Colour Shop Lokal’ performances are a response to the work of Black Market International. Black Market International was formed in the 80s and currently consists of 12 artists, each of whom have their own practice, but meet at intervals to perform durational projects, which are a series of encounters/actions.
