Hi all
You might be interested to see what you might be doing just a year down the line.
Robert was a Sculpture student from last year, and is on the first year of a Pg Dip at Byam Shaw. He was a mature student, having already been in advertising for 10 years, which is why he was able to skip BA and do a higher level of study. He was in the V and A show earlier this year, and it looks to me as if he is doing some really interesting stuff. He's also included in the work section much of what he did on Foundation, including final show work, and his Obstructions piece.

An opportunity for the astronomers out there...?
Dear Adrian
I am a writer for Arts London News, the UAL newspaper, and I was wondering if you could help me.
Do you know of any students who would be interested in having their art featured in a piece I am writing about space? As you may know, the Kepler telescope has recently discovered planets in other solar systems which could possibly foster life.
It would be great if I could get some art students contributing to help raise awareness in our arts-based university by drawing upon their creativity to illustrate how life in space might be like.
...if you are interesed let me know (Adrian) on Monday and I'll forward details

'Half-way' Crit
Hi people,
A couple of us were thinking of organising an interim crit either on the wednesday or friday of next week. This would be a good opportunity at the half-way point for us all to formally put forward what we've made so far and receive feedback!!! The whole idea is that we will only have some sort of model, but at least it will let us all get together to reflect on the project so far etc.
If you're interested let me or Abby know. I will but up a sheet in the studio on Thursday so I can gauge interest and hopefully we can confirm it early next week.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

ORGANISING OUR STUDIO SPACE
Hi everyone,
So that everyone is aware, Emilie, Me and Sid are going to be creating/keeping track of a studio plan. Over the coming weeks, if everyone could start to think about where they want to place their work that would be great! We anticipate everyone's ideas are going to change, so don't worry.
For this reason, as well as the studio plan, we are also going to be putting up a 'checklist' or 'table' next to it. This will record details about your piece which may be helpful for others to know about, ie dimensions, whether it needs power, use of sound etc. It would be good if everyone could try and update this weekly/ as you think about it. It is so that we can at least start to keep track as a group.
If anyone has any other suggestions let us know! awesome

CRiSAP and Sound Arts & Design present
Wednesday February 2, 2.00pm
a talk by 2010 Turner Prize winner
the first Turner Prize for work in sound
Susan Philipsz
The Street Lecture Theatre
London College of Communication
Elephant & Castle, London SE1
Susan Philipsz will talk about the Turner Prize, her recent Artangel piece in the City of London and her Modern Art Oxford commission at the Radcliffe Observatory.
"At the heart of Susan Philipsz's ephemeral installations lie the infinite possibilities of sound to sculpt both the physical experience of space and the intangible recollections of memories."
"The work for which Philipsz was commended, an installation titled "Lowlands," involved recordings of her singing an oft-covered Scottish song, "Lowlands Away," being played by the river Clyde in her native Glasgow. Her plain, natural, casual (i.e., largely untrained) voice seemed to emanate from nowhere and everywhere. It echoed against a massive bridge structure, and mixed in with the sounds of the environment."
"Songs as memorials; the presence of the past in empty spaces"
All staff and students welcome

Heard a radio review of this and thought some of you might find it interesting.
Very sad though...

I'd always wanted to visit the MOMA. Although perhaps not through Google...
