As we gear up for the start of a new semester, we look back at an incredible year of student work, test spaces, artist placements, degree shows, artist publications, visiting artists, amazing tutors, talks, workshops, activism, field trips, pop-up shows, installs. Thanks to everyone who made it memorable!

Our BA Fine Art is unique in the south west. We sit alongside subjects ranging from Artificial Intelligence to Midwifery to Zoology, with everything in-between. Our curriculum and placement opportunities focus on the rich potential of interdisciplinary collaboration for emerging artists.

You are warmly invited to Betty Marsh’s MA Fine Art Graduate Show “ Shared Marrow” at 37 Looe St.

Shared Marrow translates concepts explored in creative writings and critical essays, presenting them as physical objects. The artworks echo the artist’s observational studies, imaginative concepts and memories of her ritualised trail. Focusing on the ephemeral, on feint pencil markings and thin papers, the works’ fragile physicality records passing experiences that do not last.

Private View : Thursday 6th June / 5pm-7pm
Exhibition : Friday 7th June - Sunday 9th June / 11am-4pm
Venue: 37 Looe St, Plymouth, PL4 0DQ

to be featured in a screening of shorts alongside a curated international screening of experimental and artists films around the theme of sensory perception.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
How can the sensory perception/subjective experience be communicated and challenged by filmmaking? How does film allow us to connect to others and the world by exchanging subjective realities?

One of the premises of neurodiversity is that the ways we see, hear, experience the world are slightly different and unique for every person. The ways we interact with the world make us who we are.

ARTIST TALK
Philip Banks
18 October
11-12 RLB101

Followed by sign-up tutorials

Philip Banks is a Cornwall-based artist who graduated from the BA Fine Art in 2022 with his speculative memory machines, drawing on archaeological imaginaries and working through material experimentation & transformation

His practice shifts and evolves between 2D and 3D; drawing, painting, photography, a variety of sculptural approaches that include maquettes, junk modelling, wooden structures, hand building with clay and plaster moulds. Reoccurring themes include Science Fiction, Time Travel, Architecture and Archaeology. He works with found materials, artefacts, and photos from places of interest.

Those who attend the talk are encouraged to ask questions about his time at University of Plymouth Fine Art and how his artistic practice has continued since graduating.
