More about the exhibition

The displayed works demonstrated the ways in which these artists play with moving image and sound in order to consider concepts of space, identity, construction and disorientation, and to create a dialogue between viewer and object. For example,Ìý‘Time Based Media’ included , a collaborative multimedia piece aiming to bring the printing process into the exhibition space, created by Dana Ariel,ÌýJulia McKinlay,ÌýEleanor Morgan and Georgina Tate. The sound recording (made from the noises familiar from the print-room environment, including ink rollers and printing press cogs) accompanied by a concertina of printed images and marks was awarded the first ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Art Museum Prize in 2013. The exhibition also featured Flaxman Exchange, a 2013 collaborative film by Tom Chick, Reynir Hutber and Marcia Farqhuar, which documented Farquhar's performance work around significant spaces of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

A series of events, Time-based Media in Conversation, ran alongside the exhibition, including talks by artist Marianna Simnett (winner of the 2013 Coldstream Prize) and an evening performance-lecture by artist and recent Slade PhD graduate Kai Syng Tan. The audio-visual equipment was kindly provided by the Slade School of Fine Art.

More about the Coldstream Prize

The Coldstream Prize is a purchase award selected from the Slade’s degree shows to reflect outstanding achievement over the whole year, rather than requiring students to create pieces to fit specific requirements. This has resulted in a wide array of artwork. Time-based media is one particular strand within the history of the award.
