The Art & Design Team were delighted to welcome Lauren Rigby to the ARIRetc… studio last week. Lauren is a curator at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and was in Telford to see new work by current AIR Stephanie Cairns who will be showing the gallery at the end of February.
Speaking during her visit to the ‘AIRetc…’ studio, Lauren said:
“We – Scottish National GOMA and The Trustees of the John Watson Prize – are delighted to be presenting Stephanie Cairns’ new work. We are sure that it has been invaluable for Stephanie to have access to the studio space and facilities available to her at the College while she is working as Artist in Residence and preparing for her display.”

Art e-Facts 81: Susan Philpsz 2010 Turner Prize Winner and the Telford CAP Student:
Question: What’s the connection between 2010 Turner Prize winning Scottish Artist Susan Phillipsz and the HND Contemporary Art Practice course at Telford College?
Answer: 47 Film
In May this year Film 47 documented Phillpsz Prize winning work ‘Lowlands’. The final film was submitted to the Turner Art Committee for judgement ad there is little doubt that 47 Film’s film footage helped Susan secure her prize
At around the same time Filmogropher Andy Cameron of 47 Film, was working closely with Art & Design student Natalie Doyle on the recording of Natalies’ Final Major Project work of her Foundation Course here at Telford College. Natalies’ movie focuses on social relationships through the Internet and how identity is built up through that medium. CAP Alumni Lauren McLaughlin and Gordon Douglas also appear within the film.
The following is a short documentary about the film:
Andy Cameron works freelance in and around Scotland and has worked for the Edinburgh Art Festival, the Glasgow International Arts Festival and has been published on several high profile websites.

The new design / theme features a two-level navigation system with drop-down menus. The first level features navigation through the separate pages featured on the site many of which have been updated including the Alumni, Gallery and Course Information pages.The second level allows you to search posting by their various categories which have also been updated and streamlined making posts and subjects easier to find.
So, we hope you all enjoy the new look site and that you will continue to come back time and again for the latest art e-facts, art e-maps, news, views and reviews.
A special thanks must go to Alumni member and Guest Lecturer Ben Fallon for designing the wonderful new header for the site.
