Welcome

Leeds College of Art is proud of being one of the few remaining independent specialist art and design institutions in the UK. The College has a culture of engaging with ‘live’ external events promoting a professional and outward looking ethos amongst its students. The BA (Hons) Fine Art programme recognizes that the students should be prepared intellectually, practically and professionally and this year’s graduate exhibition celebrates the conflation of these qualities.

Students on the programme explore drawing, painting, sculpture, lens- based media, installation, performance, social and public art through a series of critically positioned modules. They also actively engage with exhibiting and public facing practices as key knowledge instruments in Fine Art practice. This publication, ‘Original Rework’, draws together the profiles of the individual students with a sample of external projects undertaken and often devised by them whilst at the College.

The final exhibition in Leeds celebrates the achievement of the students’ degree. It then tours to London to be seen as part of ‘Free Range’, the annual art show at Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, London to celebrate the first year of their professional careers.

I applaud the achievement of this year’s graduating students and warmly invite you to explore their work in both exhibitions.

How would Paul Cezanne have responded to the title of our exhibition? The evidence suggests that he would have embraced it - but on his own terms. In his early years Cezanne spent a considerable time copying paintings in the Louvre and working in the landscape alongside fellow artists with whom he discussed his ideas. Even in his old age he described in a letter to a young artist the intention of his ongoing work as a wish ‘to redo Poussin from nature’, words that chime with our ‘Original Rework’. Cezanne, the revolutionary and solitary painter, was nevertheless involved in a dialogue, the kind of dialogue on which art history is built, where ideas are appropriated from the tradition and adapted to enable the expression of something personal and contemporary. When Jimi Hendrix launched into ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock he knew the sedate respect hitherto given to his National Anthem would exaggerate the raucous anarchy of his guitar transcription. Transcriptions are made in all the arts and are another facet of the dialogue between

Original Rework

practitioners of the past and the present. In painting the most celebrated examples are Francis Bacon’s series of Screaming Popes. Our knowledge of the calm and impassive Pope Innocent X in Velazquez’s portrait is used by Bacon to magnify the scream and isolated torment of his transcription. Bacon and Hendrix borrow directly from the canon, adapt it to a particular purpose and make it entirely their own. Not all dialogues from history are as transparent as those already described. The outrage caused by Tracey Emin’s ‘My Bed’ suggested it was a work without precedent rather than the latest manifestation of a theme with a substantial and distinguished history. A seamless transition had seen images of beds on the gallery wall elide to a slept - in - bed on the gallery floor: Titian, Rembrandt, Goya and Van Gogh included beds in major paintings before Rauschenberg, in ‘Bed’ nailed his bed to the gallery wall. Following Rauschenberg, Oldenberg and Kienholz included beds in environmental works and the sequence culminated with Emin’s ‘My Bed’ of 1998The artists involved in this continuum do not

understanding with which to go out and meet the rigours of the art world ahead. The teaching philosophy of the Fine Art Department defines a method of working but does not impose subject matter on final year students. Making a choice of subject is the responsibility of the student. It is an onerous task in which personal aptitude struggles to find an independent place in the fragmented and uncertain world of contemporary art. The work on show by the emerging artists in this exhibition does not represent an answer or a conclusion to this problem but rather the search to date to make a coherent personal statement amidst and despite this complex uncertainty.

refer to each other directly, indeed they use the bed with very different motives, but each is dependent on the last for opening the way and creating the conditions necessary in which to make their own contribution. Cezanne was at pains to point out the dangers of being over - dependent on the work of other artists. He castigated the painter Emile Bernard for being academic and relying too heavily in his own work on the paintings he had studied in the museums. Cezanne accepted the necessity of learning from others but was emphatic in the belief that the artist’s personal response to the subject was of paramount importance. The teaching of Fine Art has had to find a similar balance to the one advocated by Cezanne and an understanding of ‘Original Rework’ on these terms is at the core of our philosophy at Leeds College of Art. To inform about contemporary and traditional art is vital, but if overplayed can be undermining and result in pastiche. Our aim at Leeds College of Art is to develop the composure required to make work that embodies a personal response and a depth of contextual

Annie Driver

My practice has derived from ideas of unborn human embryos/fetuses. This sensitive issue questions and sparks a reaction towards what happens to unborn life. Through exploration it has led me to create christening fonts using a variety of materials.

My practice has developed over the three years from using mixed media and sticking to my comforts. As the years have progressed I have found myself exploring different materials and ideas, and as a result I went on to explore the use of blood.

Elizabeth Loren Trainer

My practice is concerned with creating art that has confessional and communicable elements. I relay brief moments of physical and mental pain, often my own feelings, into figurative sculptural forms using materials associated with vulnerability and defence simultaneously.

Handling Space- Being Barbara

This was a workshop for the public, devised and delivered by the students.

The public were invited to rework their favourite piece of sculpture after visiting The Hepworth Wakefield on its opening weekend.

In order to prepare for it the students undertook the ‘Equality and Quality in the Visual Arts’ workshop with Anne Cunningham, Chief Executive of The Art House Wakefield, where ‘Being Barbara’ took place.

Distortion has always been an aspect in my work. I am interested in the way we interpret the world visually, and how each individual’s experience differs. It is up to us how we interpret what we see. I explore this through image making.

I reflect on my position within a community of young artists journeying to establish themselves. As I have limited experience to artistically be true to, the subject of the lack of ‘raw experience’ is currently explored in my transitional practice.

By rejecting the idea of art as object and immersing oneself in an equilibrium creative process, an understanding of the true nature of things may be acquired. As repetitive actions converge, a matrix forms from which familiar things show themselves.

My work focuses on architecturally structured space and the distinguishable way which it employs boundaries to create a controlled environment. Boundaries, borders, barriers, walls are all descriptive trajectories of the qualities of separation, division and isolation that are reinforced in such places.

Scottish Sculpture Workshop- Bronze Casting Residency

A week long field trip to the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Aberdeenshire took place. The project aimed to interface the tradition of medal making with questions about the social functions of art and questions regarding the value of symbolic objects in the context of the UK preparing to host the 2012 Olympics.

It was supported by Master Founder Kabir Hussein and hosted in Scotland by Dr Nuno Sacramento. The result was students pouring and casting their own works in bronze in the SSW foundry.

M-Exhibition was a student devised exhibition fully conceptualised, curated and created by the students.

Students joined together with ADEPT (artist duo Shanaz Gulzar and Steve Manthorp) to undertake a “recorded walk” in order to raise funds.

They independently successfully negotiated an enigmatic venue of three railway arches from Network Rail to home the project.
