Final Degree Show
The Common Room
The Reading School of Art undergraduate degree exhibition 2022.
Our annual Art degree show celebrates the culmination of three or four years of study by our students on single or joint honours courses.
Students propose and produce their own work with the guidance of tutors and technicians who encourage ambitious thinking and experimentation across a wide range of media, from painting to performance, sculpture, installation, text-based art, drawing, photography and video, print and textiles.
Obelisk
Christine Glover
Obelisk is a structure which resembles a house of cards, which radiates a sense of play and simultaneously fragility. Christine created a house of cards out of canvases portraying re-imagined versions of her friends, embellished with various forms of rhinestones, glitter and other playful elements.
The combination of painting friends forming a close-knit community is an adumbration and any apparent stability is immediately undermined by its fragile installation; a feeling of uncertainty and constant emotional change within one's inner world.
"Studying Art and History of Art at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 has been a fantastic experience in developing my practice, especially with the amazing studio space and tutors that are there to offer support when needed. The online degree show, Asbestos Streams, is an amazing platform for all of the artists involved to showcase their individual work."

Clémence Muller
Due to the pandemic, this year's Degree Show taught Cl茅mence to be creative and responsive to limits and conditions in which she had to produce work and organise this end-of-year event.
Working from the studio space to a contained domestic garden space, her practice, therefore, had to evolve responding to its environment, modifying the scale and approach to present final artworks.
"Throughout my degree within Reading School of Art, I have become a multidisciplinary artist. Arriving as a painter, I have explored and developed skills in many disciplines such as digital work, installation, printmaking etc. to finally finish my degree as a sculptor working with metal and plaster." (Cl茅mence Muller, BA Art and History of Art)
