Surface Tension Exhibition review

Congratulations on an excellent exhibition. The exhibitors demonstrated that have all learned a great deal about presenting artworks. The exhibition was of a professional standard. Promotion of the exhibition using a group website was an inspired idea, particularly the artist profiles. I would like to see more from each artist in the future.

The work was shown in a gallery space that was light and open. Obstructions were kept to a minimum and visitors moved easily through the space. There was a consistent layout for the work with the exception of Nicole Ostheimer who used one of the covered doorway space to good effect.

It is of paramount importance when having a group show for individual egos not to get in the way and for all exhibitors to work for the common good. A successful group show has to ensure all works are displayed to good effect. This was the case with Surface Tension and the steering group for the exhibiton should come in for special mention.

Exhibitors should keep working hard, stay focused and make sure you have you business head in gear at all times. Opportunity knocks but once.

It is a real honour when one sees the work of former students exhibited in a high profile (industry judged) exhibition. It reminds me why I teach and how ambitious I am for the people I have taught. Below are examples of work from 5 former Creative Media Programme students who studied Illustration with us between September 1999 and June 2008. Use the website links to see more work from these talented artists.

Respect!

Exhibition - Surface Tension

I'm looking forward to an Illustration Exhibition called Surface Tension. It features the work of 12 students who recently completed the ABC Certificate courses in Illustration at LCC. They were taught by my good self and my main man Ian Barraclough.

Congratualtions to the students for setting up this venture. I hope it is the start of many more to come. Surface Tension runs from 10 - 14 September 2009 at The Rag Factory, 16-18 Heneage Street, London E1 5LJ (just off Brick Lane). For a preview of the work and to see profiles of the exhibitors go to www.surfacetension.eu
