So what’s his take on degree shows? For my degree at Central Saint about my past, it’s funny, it’s low-tech. Martins in 1997 I was in a group I’m still quite proud of it. with two other artists called Finger In my last year at college I think I de Buffet. We almost had our degrees was on to something with the work I taken off us because we took the walls was doing. We had a great degree show down between our spaces and painted party, we got sponsorship for booze and everything purple. The paint wasn’t my free peanuts from some silly company. It idea; it made all my things look shit! was the best place to be that night... What I got from being part of that I guess students should take the group was the irreverence. We were degree show seriously but they quite cocky – we wound up the other shouldn’t fuck up their time 2 students a little bit. beforehand worrying about the thing The video work I made then was – that’s stupid.

Photo: © mcateer photograph What I always tell students when I do visiting lectures is to see the degree show as a step rather than an end point. Because that’s something that I’m still learning now; all the things that I’m excited about, like doing Venice and GI [Glasgow International] festival, they’re all just steps. There’s this idea that this is it, this is the mother lode; and then, a few weeks later, your show is down, it’s gone. And so I try and get them to think of it as part of a journey. 1 I quite like seeing people coming to the end of [the art school] process. Because on the whole, while the art world who are confident to put less work in is full of fuckers, art college isn’t. and not bombard you. If you can make yourself ring clear, then that’s about as A degree show is probably the good as it’s going to get. I think that’s what hardest place to do a performance. I’m most interested in. Because if you are going to take off your clothes and put an apricot stone up your Degree shows should remain as they arse or whatever, that’s great as part of are, as this oddity that works for a festival or something, but with other some people and not for others. If you people’s parents around, it’s not so great. think of all the other things you could be doing at university, they all end with hired Some students get so wrapped up in gowns and a scroll of paper and stuff. it all that they try and rebel against And whilst you also get that on a fine art the whole idea of the degree show. degree, showing your work in college They end up making some kind of really is much better than dressing up in a futile gesture, like putting their paintings in mortar board. a dark room.

This thing of saying ‘the Based in Caernarfon, north Wales, he has fabulous new female artist’, ‘the exciting’ exhibited widely and in 2013 represented this, ‘future greats’ – all these superlatives Wales at the 55th Venice Biennale.

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.
