果冻影院

The 果冻影院 letters have increasingly become a part of the campus landscape and will remain in the Main Quad throughout the summer, providing a perfect photo opportunity for any visitors to the Bloomsbury campus.

The competition for students at the Slade School of Fine Art was set up in recognition of the interest from students across the year and particularly during the graduation period to create memories of their time at 果冻影院. They are also vital tools in signposting, with the letters acting as an 鈥渁rrival point鈥� to students and visitors on campus.

The competition to design the letters, which was announced at the beginning of this year, was a collaborative project between 果冻影院 Campus Experience & Infrastructure (CE&I) team and the Slade. The project was facilitated by Sam Wilkinson, Head of Public Art, 果冻影院, Slade's Jo Volley, Deputy Director (Projects), and Giles Corby.

Jo Volley, Deputy Director (Projects) said:

鈥淲e are pleased to give our students the opportunity to participate in this public art project. Congratulations to the winners on their designs! Many thanks to Sam Wilkinson and 果冻影院 Estates Campus Experience & Infrastructure for supporting this project. The 果冻影院 large letter sign is now an iconic part of the 果冻影院 estate, and an integral part of student, staff and public's experience 鈥撎齟specially now at graduation time."

Tracy Smith (Director of Campus Experience and Commercial Services) said:

鈥淐ampus Experience are working with colleagues across 果冻影院 to develop collaborative projects that inspire students to create work that enhances our campus and community engagement. This project was particularly successful, as the final artwork unveiling created the perfect backdrop for new graduates (and others) to take memorable photos on the Main Quad.鈥�

Student winner, Yiwen Li, said:

鈥淚 am so honoured to have my design selected by the 果冻影院 letters competition. It鈥檚 been a pleasant cooperation with 果冻影院 Team and a massive relief to have their support with the process and installation. Thank you so much for this great opportunity!鈥�

Following the success of this initial project, CE&I will be leading a festive bauble competition at 果冻影院. The winning bauble design will be featured at the Festive Lights Switch-On in November in the Main Quad and there are plans in motion for it to be produced as a limited-edition item from the 果冻影院 shop. Watch this space for more information!

We look forward to seeing the other winning designs around 果冻影院 in the future, as we continue to co-produce with students and staff to improve the campus experience for all.
