ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART MA SHOW Thursday 3rd June 2010
… before the ice cream melts
What is always reassuring with brochures of shows is that they
are slightly out of date. This cannot be helped. The
publication may be weeks/month or so before the show and the
work may still be developing, or the work has not been
photographed in situ.
As was
rather
recent
at the
the case here – another reason to visit actual work
than rely on catalogues. Also, postcards may have more
images on them. I only mention work that interested me
time [and it was hot..] – so be it.
The measurements are only approximate cos I was either using
my own height of 5’7 as a guide or pacing out my size 7 feet,
but I have converted, for your benefit.
If you gonna do big then do big like:Claire Bayliss - A composition of 15 pieces of litho making
up a total of [3.5m by 1.8m]. Cordelia Cembrowicz Impressive large silkscreen print. Poppy Jones – 3.5m x 3.6
colour photocopy
Jon Mayers - Very Large Silkscreens, Olenna Mokliak 4 x 1m x 1.5m etchings and aquatints
Gonna do small then do many –
David Orme - Lots of Lino prints framed and unframed, some on
Chinese paper which was floating from the wall, attached only
at the top
Sculptural/Installations
Anna Lomax – 3 TV screens showing videos, glitter on the
floor, love of plastic, large gold draped soft sculplture
which filled with air and floats across the piece
James Winter
A corner sculptural piece, not sure what the materials were
and I wanted to touch it to find out if it was metal/plastic
or wood
Helen Murgatroyd
Installation – print room in her kitchen
This was my favourite. I talked to the artist. I wanted to
steal one of the simple prints hanging on the make-shift
pulley/washing line contraption. I wanted to be in that
kitchen area making those prints and enjoying every minute of
it. Ho hum.
Rumour has it that there is a piece here which cost £10,000 to
make. After a little research on Tinternet – my choice is Sun
Ju Lee [four pieces on Monofilament surfaces]
Did I win?
