State of the Art

A new show kicks off the University of Portsmouth summer shows season and it’s a cracker.

It’s called State of the Art, a name which reflects the difficult position fine art/creative students find themselves in.

In a time when funding is being cut across the board, and, as is so often the case, the creative courses tend to be the first to suffer. It will feature a number of artists who create work spanning a broad spectrum, from painting and sculpture to film, animation, performance and relational art.

State of the Art will also move ‘out into’ the local community of Portsmouth. Various art workshops will be held in specific locations in and around Portsmouth.

The exhibition features work by 2nd year BA Fine Art students.

Venues:

The Eldon Gallery, Winston Churchill Avenue, Portsmouth 10th – 21st May 2010

The Kraken Wakes, St Michaels Road, Portsmouth 31st May – 3rd June 2010

Drift in the City, Portsmouth 6th – 8th June 2010
