Thursday 21st June: Central St Martins degree show ONE











It's the time of year for the graduate shows and I'll be covering all courses across the different disciplines of Central St. Martins at the exhibitions in it's united campus at Granary Square, Kings Cross.  Here are highlights from "Show ONE" featuring BA Fine Art, MA Fine Art, MA Photography, MA Art and Science.  Its always a great challenge to walk into an environment like this and navigate your way around the installations side by side to determine what exactly is going on.  I find it's a cross between being Ms. Marple and Sister Wendy.  For example, at this particular show there was a vending machine near the coffee stand which was actually an artwork, but then the photocopy machine covered in posters adjacent to that was just a photocopier.  With no detriment dealt to fine artists, I'm only being light-hearted and I do genuinely get a kick out of experiencing the ingenuity of approaches to art each year.  The theme of innovation will take over in the next few posts as I focus on the nominations of students for the "NOVA" awards........
