here are a few photos from the opening night. i am currently volunteering/working front desk for this show. such a lovely team of people to work with and a great experience for me! the show was co curated by psl and roger palmer (uni of leeds) and shows the work of 8 artists from finland, uk and sweden- all whom have recently graduated or are currently engaged in phd study. the exhibition showcases all types of different work, from film, photography, installation, performance, book form, sculpture and drawing, all driven by their research-led practices. the show 'examines the specific value or quality of research-led practice at a time when the relevance of a phd in fine art has been challenged'. my two favourite pieces are by aritst Maija Närhinen. she creates sculptural installations, whereby paper is transformed through drawing, painting, folding, creasing and crumpling. she explores what we think we see and the reality that is created in the viewer's mind. (see rock installation below). this is psl's last show at their current, riverside space until they move to the tetley brewery! come check it out.
