Identification Please! Ruptures, Boundaries and Divisions<\/h2>\n

July\u00a09\u00a0\u2013\u00a0September\u00a012 2014<\/p>\n

Studio 3 Gallery\u00a0was thrilled to present Identification Please!<\/em>, an exhibition of print and video work exploring contemporary issues of place, information and identity. This is an exhibition conceived in two parts, each one showcasing the talents of The University of Kent\u2019s students.<\/p>\n

Three exceptional video works from\u00a02014 graduates of the School of Music and Fine Art\u2019s Undergraduate Fine Art programme were selected as a starting point for this show. These works by Sophie Dixon, Benjamin King and Ryan Kwok combined insightful, moving and at times, hilarious narratives with arresting and surprising visual imagery.<\/p>\n

To accompany these pieces, students in the School of Arts\u2019 newly-created MA in Curating programme were asked to select works from the Kent Print Collection that responded to the themes and ideas presented in the videos. This was no mean feat given the divergent territories and approaches evident in the works of the Fine Art students. However, the Curating students\u00a0drew out unifying themes and selected a compelling and diverse range of prints to complement their colleagues\u2019 pieces including works by Art & Language, William Hogarth, Chris Orr, Maggi Hambling, John Stezaker, Gavin Turk and Anne Desmet.<\/p>\n
