Chelsea College of Art Announce 2013 MA Fine Art Exhibitions

Chelsea College of Art and Design

Over 100 MA students from one of the UK’s longest established postgraduate fine art courses will show their work in a unique, two-part exhibition at Chelsea College of Art and Design during April.

‘In Two Parts’ showcases students on Chelsea’s prestigious MA Fine Art. The intensive, 45-week taught master’s boasts many famous graduates, including Anish Kapoor, Mike Nelson, Rebecca Warren, Kimio Tsuchiya, Mariele Neudecker and Andreas Oehlert. The course covers the whole fine art spectrum, and work on show includes installation, sculpture, painting, drawing, film, print and performance art.

As an interim show, In Two Parts represents the midpoint of the MA Fine Art course, and offers a unique snapshot of students’ work, often in progress, at a key moment in their academic careers. Instead of seeing finished, polished pieces, visitors to the exhibition will gain an insight into the process of producing an artwork, and discover what it’s like to study fine art as a postgraduate at Chelsea.

“This exhibition documents the atmosphere and process of re-evaluation, risk and exploration that takes place on the course,” says course director Brian Chalkley. “The diverse cultural interaction is central to this experience.”

Chelsea College of Art and Design is one of six colleges that make up University of the Arts London. The world’s leading specialist creative university, UAL also hosts the largest postgraduate arts and design community in Europe.
