COLLABORATIVE
Curated by Emily Coutts and Elric Ringstad
COLLABORATIVE, the Graduating Third Year show for Fine Art students, will be presented at Watt Space Feb 1 through 19, 2012. This exhibition will feature works from 25 artists who have recently completed their Bachelor of Fine art at the University of Newcastle. COLLABORATIVE is comprised of a diverse range of mediums, from drawing, painting, sculpture to photography and ceramic work. This exhibition focuses on a range of styles and materials and brings together the ideas and methods these students have been working towards over the past 3-4 years. We would like to invite you along to help us celebrate the opening of this exhibition …
Emily Coutts and Elric Ringstad have both recently completed their Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Newcastle. As well as being the curators of COLLABORATIVE, they are also exhibiting their work in the show.
Emily Coutts has previously curated the summary show High in Fibre at Watt Space 2010, as well as exhibiting in open shows over the past two years. Emily has just been elected for the 2012 Watt Space student committee which she is looking forward to being a part of.
