25 postgraduate students had a wonderful afternoon discussing the artists’ studio; its forms and functions; the provision of affordable space in London, and artists’ led studio initiatives.
With contributions from: Graham Ellard (artist and Professor of Fine Art, CSM); Heather Deedman (artist and Senior Artists’ Liaison Officer, Acme Studios); Charlie Day (artist and co-founder of Collective Studios, Wandsworth). The afternoon was an opportunity to explore the issues of studio space in London and gain a more specific understanding of what is at stake, what is available and what is possible.
The afternoon conclude with drinks, networking and a chance to talk one-to-one with the events contributors.
The event is kindly hosted by Acme Studios, at the Acme Project Space in Bethnal Green.

Following the recent ‘UAL Meets’ event with Iwona Blazwick, Director of the Whitechapel Gallery, postgraduate students from across UAL came together for an exclusive behind the scenes talk and tour of the Whitechapel Gallery.
Here they met staff from three departments of the Whitechapel Gallery to learn about the work they do, they talked about their own career journeys that led them to working at the gallery and the students put their questions to them about their experiences of working in a world leading gallery.
After the talk, the students enjoyed an informative curator-lead tour of the stunning Hannah Hoch retrospective, followed by afternoon tea at the Gallery.
