  • 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.

  • Walsh a Photo
    Andrea Walsh Curriculum Vitae Born 1974, Stockport, England 1995-1998 Staffordshire University, BA Hons Fine Art 1999-2000 International Glass Centre, West Midlands, Glass Techniques & Technology 2001-2001 Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, MA Glass and architectural Glass Working in Edinburgh “I am intrigued by ideas of containment, materiality, preciousness and value, which I explore through the box and vessel form. My chosen palette of materials - ceramics, glass and metal - are connected by traditional casting and forming techniques, which I use to make unique objects that are considered, refined, and exquisitely tactile. Contemplating both the individual qualities and direct relationships of these ancient and alchemic materials, each piece reveals a subtle balance and purity of form, and communicates through an intimate scale where themes akin with jewellery prevail such as to hold and to cherish.” Andrea Walsh “Walsh’s work seems the antithesis of the fleeting surfaces of contemporary life and yet the forms are free of the pastiche or anachronism of the self consciously crafted thing. They possess instead what the American art historian Keith Moxey describes as a vital heterochronicity – a capacity to unfold many timeworlds simultaneously through the precision and poetry of the forms.” Amanda Game - Independent Curator, 2014 Andrea Walsh -2- Solo Exhibitions 2018 Andrea Walsh, The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh 2009 Andrea Walsh, Beaux Arts, Bath 2006 Andrea Walsh, Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh 2004 Andrea Walsh, Open Eye Gallery,
