SCA Art
Degree Shows 2009
Towards the close of every year SCA holds two major celebrations: the Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degree shows. These large-scale group exhibitions showcase the work of over 270 graduating students. And each year the amazing number of works on display creates a dynamic set of dialogues across a diverse field of artistic practices.
Exhibited throughout the SCA's galleries and studios, this festival of art gives students a chance to share their ambitions and successes with friends who have travelled alongside them through the years of their degree. While many students will have already been involved in exhibition programs on and off the College, the Degree show is a chance for all students to stand together with their peers and reflect on their achievements as well as their goals for the future.
For undergraduates, the exhibition signals not only the end of their degree but the beginnings of a career in the arts. It is a time for taking risks, challenging conventions, and for some accepting first-time invitations to upcoming shows or commercial gallery representation. For postgraduates, the exhibition provides the chance to consolidate and present a major body of research developed from with a chosen field of specialisation. It is a time for them to critically reflect on the history of their practice and their place within contemporary art.

Material affects : the body-language of film - Stefan Octavian Popescu.
