CH CH CH CHANGING - TUTOR AND ALUMNI SHOW An exhibition exploring contemporary uses of pigment and paint by tutors and alumni from six London Art Colleges, curated by Erika Winstone. To view a PDF version of the Ch Ch Ch Changing exhibition catalogue, please click here. The question “is painting dead?” has been asked for well over a century now; however, many artists today are embracing paint as a medium with vital potential to be continuously rethought, rather than viewing it in opposition to contemporary practice. This exhibition presents work by twelve contemporary artists who use pigment or paint as both material and idea, in ways encompassing sculpture, installation, exhibition, performance, video and painting. Ch Ch Ch Changing comprises six pairs of artists, who have worked together in that unique relationship between teacher (artist) and student (emerging artist) on Fine Art courses at Camberwell, Goldsmiths, Kensington and Chelsea, Slade, Kingston, and Wimbledon. Ch Ch Ch Changing is an exhibition curated by Erika Winstone, inspired by the song ‘Changes’ by David Bowie (1971) and the book ‘Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: Artists talking about Teaching’ edited by David Mollin and John Reardon (2009). Twelve Artists (in order of alumnus first and tutor second) Sophia Starling and Daniel Sturgis (Camberwell College of Arts) Aimilia Meletiou and Alison Jones (Goldsmiths College) Sam Walker and Cullinan & Richards (Kingston University) Valerie Jolly and Jane Eyton (Kensington & Chelsea College) Mikyung Son and David Burrows (Slade School of Fine Art) Stephanie Conway and Simon Betts (Wimbledon College of Art) The exhibition will be accompanied by the following events programme: Talks on pigments and tour of the Innovation and Development Lab (10 places available on each): - 25th April, 5 – 5.30pm - 1st May, 5 – 5.30pm Seminars discussing teaching and learning in Fine Art: - John Reardon & David Mollin + exhibiting artists: 25th April, 6 – 7.30pm - Exhibiting artists: 1st May, 6 – 7.30pm All events are free of charge, but places are limited so please call or email the Gallery to reserve a place. |
