MA Art Gallery Students Exhibition Projects

The current cohort of postgraduate museum studies students completed installation of their exhibition projects at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Art Gallery last week.  They were very busy in the planning processes...and with almost 30 students, and just two groups, the management of responsibilities was quite a challenge...one that they all overcame brilliantly I may add!

Both Exhibitions Opened on 17th October, and you can see their excellent efforts until 10th December 2011....do pop along!

Group A, decided to work with the Gallery ceramics collections, and produced a fabulous exhibition theme - 'Fancy a Brew'? 18th century drinking cultures'.....

They worked hard of selecting the objects and working up a theme...as you can see....

Don't drop it!

       

    

                                         

The other Student Group also produced a fabulous exhibition - this time using paintings, prints, books and associated ephemera from the Bloomsbury Group...both from the Art Gallery holdings, and material from the University Brotherton Library Special Collections.... Their exhibition is entitled: 'Connecting Lives: Intimate Artworks of the Bloomsbury Group'......and they were equally animated in their preparations...
