  • CVAN Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
    Press Release: Wednesday 12 May 2021 Leading UK contemporary visual arts institutions and art schools unite against proposed government cuts to arts education ● Directors of BALTIC, Hayward Gallery, MiMA, Serpentine, Tate, The Slade, Central St. Martin’s and Goldsmiths among over 300 signatories of open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson opposing 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects in higher education ● The letter is part of the nationwide #ArtIsEssential campaign to demonstrate the essential value of the visual arts This morning, the UK’s Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) have brought together leaders from across the visual arts sector including arts institutions, art schools, galleries and universities across the country, to issue an open letter to Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education asking him to revoke his proposed 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects across higher education. Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country.

  • V&A R Esearch R Eport 2012
    2012 REPORT V&A RESEARCH MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Research is a core activity of the V&A, helping to develop the public understanding of the art and artefacts of many of the great cultures of the world. This annual Research Report lists the outputs of staff from the calendar year 2012. Though the tabulation may seem detailed, this is certainly a case where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The V&A plays a synthetic role in binding together the fields of art, design and performance; conservation and collections management; and museum-based learning. We let the world know about our work through many different routes, which reach as large and varied an audience as possible. Here you will find some listings that you might expect - scholarly journal articles and books - but also television and radio programmes, public lectures, digital platforms. Many of these research outputs are delivered through collaborative partnerships with universities and other institutions. The V&A is international both in its collections and its outlook, and in this Report you will notice entries in French, Spanish, German, and Russian as well as English – and activities in places as diverse as Ukraine, Libya, and Colombia. Most importantly, research ensures that the Museum will continue to innovate in the years to come, and in this way inspire the creativity of others.

  • Cathie Pilkington Estin Thalassa PR
    Karsten Schubert London Press Release Cathie Pilkington: Estin Thalassa 1 June–9 July 2021 Room 2, 44 Lexington Street, London W1F 0LW By appointment | [email protected] | 020 7734 9002 Cathie Pilkington’s new exhibition, Estin Thalassa at Karsten Schubert London’s Room 2, is an extravagant and claustrophobic response to the dislocation and disorientation of the current times, an accumulation of manically cobbled and carefully composed elements and images, combining furniture-like structures – screens, dividers, fabric banners and richly painted velvet wall-hangings with traditionally modelled and polychromed sculptural objects. Pilkington’s installation presents the spectator with optically dazzling patterns and motifs that flow unconstrained across disparate decorated surfaces alternately emphasising or camouflaging three-dimensional form and volume in a kind of excessive Gothic Vorticism. Interwoven themes of disintegration, death, rebirth and reparation reveal a reflexive picturing of the creative process itself, an extended poemagogic meditation on the inheritance of the Grand sculptural tradition filtered through lowly derivatives such as garden ornaments, toys and dolls. The result is a confusion of heterogenous styles and registers, a collision of folk culture and canonical high art motifs in a mass of dirty, glittery art historical laundry. www.karstenschubert.com : @karstenschubertlondon Karsten Schubert London About Cathie Pilkington Cathie Pilkington (b. 1968) is an artist whose work engages passionately and critically with the canonical history of figurative sculpture. Crossing the borders of traditional, modern and contemporary idioms, her work combines intensively modelled and painted sculptures within immersive installations comprising a diverse array of props, materials and studio furniture. Her site-responsive installations are balanced ambivalently between chaos and precision and have been described as a kind of art historical fly-tipping.

The principal object of analysis is the art medal, a form of small-scale, biface sculpture, normally bearing portrait images that was developed in fifteenth century Italy, and that is still practiced today, worldwide. Through the close analysis of a number of art medals, this research investigates the way in which materiality relates to content, and the processes through which meaning is generated. A synthetic methodology is used.
