The Gallery
The Gallery is a major resource for contemporary visual art at the University College and has received regional and national recognition.
The Gallery has regular exhibitions from some of today’s leading artists and critical writers including Ian McKeever and David Miller (poet); and Susan Stockwell and Rosemary Miles (Curator, Victoria & Albert Museum). It also shows collections on loan from other galleries and museums.
The Gallery functions as a learning resource and is integrated into the teaching, learning and research practice undertaken at the University College. Student work is displayed in the Summer Show exhibitions and students also have the opportunity to propose or curate shows as part of the Gallery programme.
text + work promotes dialogue between innovative contemporary art and design practice and its theoretical context. It provides a platform for practitioners, writers and curators who wish to examine and extend the boundaries between contemporary practice and critical discourse. There are text + work gallery events, critical texts, shared and networked exhibitions, and a text + work website.
