Duet (2013)
Annual ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum/Slade Collaboration
Exhibition and events
7 May - 6 Jun 2013

Emerging artists in the footsteps of old masters and their Slade predecessorsÌýfrom a century ago.


During the fifth annual ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum/Slade collaboration, a group of Slade students were selected to develop their own practices while taking the time to consider and appreciate what had gone before. Over one term, the artists were given special access to works fromÌýthe ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum collection and invited to contribute their own responses under the concept of ‘Duet’.

The selected works evidence the range of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum catalogue, with contemporary Slade artists responding to William Hogarth’s Industry and Idleness series; Eduardo Paollozzi’s collages from the Bunk! series; a watercolour by Slade alumna Gwen John, a plaster phrenological heads; Japanese woodblock prints and printing tools.

Many of the featured artists have gone on to forge prolific artistic careers, exhibiting internationally and publishing research, such as ,,ÌýÌý,Ìý,Ìý,Ìý,ÌýGeorgina Tate,Ìý and Milou van der MaadenÌýwith some like Kipps, Simnett and van Der MaadenÌýreturning to collaborate with us for the exhibitions Time Based Media at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum in 2014 and RE-LAUNCHÌýin 2015.
