Running from 24 May \u2013 14 June 2013, Two-Faced Fame: Celebrity in Print 1962-2013<\/i>, a new exhibition held at the University of Kent\u2019s Studio 3 gallery on the Canterbury campus, brings together a diverse range of prints by well-known artists, including Sir Peter Blake, Jason Brooks, Banksy, Gerald Laing, Marc Quinn, John Stezaker, Joe Tilson, Gavin Turk, Stella Vine and Jonathan Yeo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The exhibition focuses on the ways in which artists over the last 50 years have represented fame and how the various approaches they have taken portray the phenomenon of celebrity mass-culture. The exhibition will also highlight the progression from Pop Art, to postmodern practice and the work of street artists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From Andy Warhol\u2019s iconic Marilyn Monroe silkscreen prints to John Stezaker\u2019s spliced celebrity photo-portraits, and Banksy\u2019s appropriated honesty, attitudes towards fame have varied tremendously over the last 50 years. The exhibition will provide a visual narrative of how and why artists have chosen to present recognizable figures within their work.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Luke Carver, curator and co-author of Two Faced Fame<\/i>, commented: \u201cWe wanted a subject that would warrant serious exploration but which would also be accessible to everyone and include art that would cater for all tastes. Our aim is to hold an exhibition that explores the different attitudes artists have had towards their subjects, some of which have been critical, some complicit, and some which obscure the boundaries between these two camps. Ultimately, we want to invite a reflection on how and why artistic representations of fame and celebrity have been so varied.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ben Thomas, Curator of Studio 3 Gallery, said: \u201cOnce again Kent students are rising to the challenge of coming up with an original exhibition concept and meeting professional standards of curating. I am very grateful to all those who have supported the students putting on Two-Faced Fame without whom this exhibition could not have taken place.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The exhibition will be the fifth organised under the auspices of The Kent Print Collection and the University of Kent. Established in 2005, the award-winning curating programme aims to provide undergraduate students with the unique opportunity to collect art on behalf of the School of Arts, and to put on museum-standard exhibitions drawing on this resource.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two-Faced Fame<\/i> will be open to the public from 27th<\/sup> May until 14th<\/sup> June 2013 at the University of Kent\u2019s Studio 3 Gallery. The gallery is open to the public from 9am \u2013 5pm Monday to Friday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Running from 24 May \u2013 14 June 2013, Two-Faced Fame: Celebrity in Print 1962-2013, a new exhibition held at the University of Kent\u2019s Studio 3 gallery on the Canterbury campus, brings together a diverse range of prints by well-known artists, including Sir Peter Blake, Jason Brooks, Banksy, Gerald Laing, Marc Quinn, John Stezaker, Joe … Continue reading COMING SOON TO STUDIO 3: TWO-FACED FAME!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65798,"featured_media":243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65798"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242\/revisions\/246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studio3gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
