end of foundation, barbican

on the 21st we had to go into chelsea to receive our final grades... it was extremely nerve racking... i even hid in a toilet with a friend just in case i didnt do as well as i thought! in the end, i got a merit and was very pleased that my hard work had paid off. :) to celebrate a bunch of us basked in the sun and then went to the local pub for some fish and chips!!! BYE CHELSEA you have been good to me.

went to the barbican to see laurie anderson, trisha brown, gordon matta-clark: pioneers of the downtown scene, new york 1970s. LOVED IT. performance art/choreography/music. cost 7 pounds but was definitely worth a visit. make sure to check out the time schedule of the performances before you go. luckily we got there early enough (11.30), so we were able to see works performed under the name of trisha brown, and gordon matta-clark. got told off whilst taking photographs so here's some youtube clips of what to expect...

chelsea foundation show, camberwell foundation show, camp, hayward gallery

from thursday i am officially on my summer break!

here are some photos of my work that was displayed at the chelsea show. it was lovely to see how they work worked so well together, but i was disappointed in the amount of work that was shown. after seeing the st martins show a few days before (and after having waited an hour to get in...), i was stunned by the fact that most students had a whole pillar to themselves (composed of sketches, work in progress, and sketchbooks). by just showing the final pieces (at chelsea) i felt that it didnt represent the students well enough. oh well.

the other show that i was invited to was camberwells which was quite a trek to get to! heres the final piece by a good friend of mine, andrea shortell. she was exploring different ways of mapping and documenting different information. her final piece was her documentation of her breakfasts:

on thursday i decided to go to c.a.m.p (city arts and music project) to see the SWEET exhibition. it was a playful collaborative group exhibition which incorporated moving image and illustration (hand drawn). it was really cheery, colourful and fun. and there were goodie bags! the artists featured were a mixture of london and leeds based artists: oliver dunn, lynnie zulu, sam szulc, matt lloyd, john malcolm moore and stephany pollard. here are a few pictures of the window display

some photos to the hayward gallery british art show 7: in the days of the comet, curated by lisa le feuvre and tom morton. its travelling next to glasgow and plymouth.

final major project tumblr

long time no blog. i have been working so much on my tumblr site . sorry blogger. but it is soo much prettier than you! but i will return to you now. ( my online reflective journal for my final major project) -> scellie.tumblr.com. all of my development for my final major project can be found on there.

in other news. I AM DONE WITH CHELSEA! handed in all of my work (above) on the 31st of march. and since then have been going to chelsea almost everyday to prepare for the exhibition. this week has mainly been organising, cleaning, and re painting the walls in the studio. but it has been a good one. next week we should move on to hanging and mounting work on the walls. i am most looking forward to that, as we are being taught the basics of how an exhibition should be displayed.
