It’s 15 years since the first a-n Degree Shows 

Guide. A lot has changed in that time, much of 

it down to digital technology. 

In 1999, many people were still strangers to the 

internet, Google was run from a garage, and 

mobile phones were mainly used for talking to 

people. The iPhone wasn’t even a twinkle in 

Jonathan Ive’s eye and Apple were best known 

for desktop computers that came in different 

colours. As for social media, Facebook was five 

years away, Twitter seven – people did things 

differently then. 

In his introductory essay to this year’s guide, 

Justin McKeown picks up on the nature of 

our changed world and the challenges and 

opportunities it presents artists, asking if art 

education and the degree show is keeping pace 

with digital developments. As head of both 

fine art and computer science at York St John 

University, he’s well placed to comment. 

There’s plenty more thoughtful consideration 

of degree shows – what they do, what they 

don’t do, and what they might try to do a little 

more or less of. We solicit views from the 

directors of New Contemporaries, Situations 

and Craftspace, and get the perspective of a 

practicing artist from a champion of artist-led 

activity, Kevin Hunt. 

In the same section, four graduating students – 

all regular a-n bloggers – give some insight into 

the student mindset at this always frantic and 

exciting time of year. Elsewhere, academics 

ponder what a ‘successful’ degree show should 

do, there are tips on buying work, and we catch 

up with a 2013 graduate one year on. There’s 

also a listings section featuring over 60 shows 

across the UK. 

If you’ve got something to share about any 

shows you get along to, use the hashtag 

#andegrees14 – we’d love to hear your views.

FIRST THOUGHTS 

Value judgements: the degree 

show in a changing world 

As new technologies transform how we interact with and understand the world around us, 

is the degree show keeping up or is art education turning its back on a new social reality 

it simply doesn’t understand By Justin McKeown 

1 

In terms of the art world’s own internal sense 

of time, the degree show is in many ways the 

equivalent of New Year’s Eve; it is a point at 

which to collectively celebrate the birth of the 

future, while taking stock of the events of the 

past year. Reflecting on the 2013-14 academic 

year, it’s clear that one of the most pressing 

subjects is the issue of value and the need to 

continually defend the arts in respect of this. 

With this in mind, it is interesting to note the 

difference between making art for yourself – 

an act that holds value for you as an individual – 

and pursuing a career as an artist by studying for 

a degree in fine art or a related field. By doing 

the latter, you are implicitly deciding that your 

creativity also holds value for other people. 

Ten years ago, when it came to discussions of 

creative processes, the question of value for 

others was not on the table. Today, however, 

as a result of continued pressure on the arts to 

justify its worth to society, the notion of value 

is very much becoming part of art school 

rhetoric. As this pressure manifests itself 

within educational institutions in such 

phenomena as the removal of government 

funding for all but STEM subjects and continual 

space auditing of fine art programmes, the 

question must be asked: to what extent can 

these programmes and their degree shows 

persist in their current form 

My consideration of this matter is informed 

by an awareness of technology; I am not only 

head of fine art at York St John University, 

I’m also head of computer science and a 

member of the Internet of Things Council. 

(The Internet of Things is an umbrella term 

used to describe a next step in the evolution of 

the internet; an internet of augmented ‘smart’ 

objects, accessible to human beings and each 

other over network connections.) 

Underpinning the Internet of Things is the 

ever-increasing proliferation of networked

devices in everyday usage, including laptops, 

smart phones, smart meters, RFIDs (radiofrequency 

identification), etc. The number of 

these in use is set to increase worldwide from 

the current 4.5 billion to 50 billion by 2050 and 

may even include human implants. 

Life as we know it is undergoing a multitude of 

minuscule but incredibly significant changes 

that are altering not only how we relate to each 

other and the world, but also how we conceive 

of ourselves as beings within it. If the Internet 

of Things is a dominant emerging social reality 

in which our graduates will find themselves, 

how will they contend with it And what is the 

place of art within such a reality 

Four years ago I introduced computer 

programming as a core mandatory skill taught 

to all our fine art students, alongside more 

traditional skills. It is interesting to see how, 

as they approach their degree show, some of 

them have been able to apply creative coding to 

augment their existing practice in other media. 

Just as installation art was a paradigm of 20th 

century art, one wonders what the emerging 

paradigm of the 21st will be, and whether it 

will involve using code to enhance the already 

interactive aspects of artworks. Maybe this 

year’s degree shows will offer us some clues. 

Aside from the Internet of Things revolution, 

we live in a world where our effect on the 

ecosphere is causing the climate to become 

ever-more extreme, and there are now five 

billion more people on the planet than there 

was at the start of the 20th century, putting 

increased pressure on resources. How are 

today’s art programmes engaging with these 

issues and how is this engagement articulated 

through this year’s degree shows Is the 

material we are teaching in terms of history 

and theory the most relevant discourses we 

could be feeding our students in this new 

emerging reality Are the arts losing the debate 

on value because we don’t understand the 

argument 

When considering art programmes and degree 

shows, I sometimes wonder if we are not 

witnessing the last throws of an old cultural 

order too confused by the enormity of the 

historical moment we are living through to 

effectively engage with our emerging social 

reality. Art, after all, is a material means of 

thinking about the world around us. What 

makes art valuable is its ability to apprehend 

the conditions of our lives and articulate them 

in such a manner that they become tangible 

as propositions and questions to be inhabited. 

The extent to which our graduates can manage 

to do this will determine the future value of art 

and its place within society. 

So, at this year’s degree shows, congratulate our 

young artists’ labours and let them know how 

much you appreciate their efforts. The world is 

becoming a more volatile place and the road 

ahead for graduates seems much more difficult 

than it was – we owe them our support.

New Contemporaries exhibition 2013 

Degree shows have always been important to Kirsty Ogg. But 

after joining New Contemporaries as director at the end of 

2013, she’ll be looking at this year’s shows through slightly 

different eyes. 

“Degree shows are a kind of barometer for what new artists 

are thinking about and how they are approaching the making 

of work,” she says. “The reason that’s important is because it’s 

something that changes on a generational basis – people grow 

up in a different socio-economic, political context, surrounded 

by a specific cultural framework, and that absolutely informs 

their practice.” 

Previously curator at the Whitechapel Gallery, the Londonbased 

Glaswegian has in the past focused her attention on 

degree shows in the capital – in particular Goldsmiths, the 

Slade and the Royal College of Art. This year, she expects to 

get to far more shows across the UK. 

“What I’m looking for is innovation, interesting research; I want 

to be surprised and challenged by something rather than have 

my assumptions reinforced. Sometimes, you can look at work 

and very clearly see the artists that have influenced it. To me, 

that always feels a lot less satisfying than seeing something 

that is more open, that gives you a sense of an identifiable, 

individual practice being developed.” 

The annual New Contemporaries exhibition consists of work 

by new and recent graduates of fine art from UK art schools, 

selected from open submission by an independent panel. This 

year – its 65th anniversary – the selectors are Marvin Gaye 

Chetwynd, Goshka Macuga and Enrico David. “There’s been 

around 1400 submissions for 2014,” says Ogg. “The final show 

will feature between 30 to 50 artists.” 

Ogg graduated from the sculpture department of Edinburgh 

College of Art in the early 1990s, and from 1993-1996 was 

involved in running Transmission Gallery, an artist-run space 

in Glasgow. Much has changed in the UK’s contemporary art 

scene since then, not least the growth of the art market. This, 

believes Ogg, has had a profound impact on the presentation 

of work at degree shows. 

“The rise of the commercial art market has changed how 

graduating artists view success and how they view the level 

of professionalism they need to have when they’re making a 

show. So of course you get a lot of work that looks very slick, 

very proficient and is recognizably ‘art’ – work that sits within a 

particular trajectory of art making and exhibiting.” 

For Ogg, though, it’s individuality and inventiveness, not 

presentation skills, that leaves a lasting impression. “I’m 

looking for work that shows a little break; a diversion down 

a different path.”

SHOW & TELL 

FIONA MASTERTON, BA PAINTING, 

WIMBLEDON COLLEGE OF ARTS 

How would you describe your work 

I combine photography, digital art and paint; mainly 

on canvas, although I’ve been known to venture 

onto both found and other objects. My work is 

about crossing borders, not only in process, but in 

image juxtaposition, mark-making and between 

reality and the imagination. I try to convey a 

sense of suspense and fluctuation and portray 

indefinable forms that suggest different points of 

departure depending on who is looking at it. 

How has your work developed in your final year 

I have become a lot more honest in my practice in 

that I acknowledge that process has become much 

more of a leading force. The inspiration in terms of 

subject matter for the actual work may shift but the 

one continuum is the dynamics and patterns within 

the digital and painting processes that I use. 

What are you doing for your degree show 

I am working on paintings that best illustrate my 

current concerns in terms of the ebb and flow 

between the digital and the painted mark, between 

the abstract and the figurative, of the idea of a 

perpetual shift in reality. I use the mundane and the 

vernacular as starting points to do this. 

What would you like your degree show to achieve 

I’d like my degree show to attract people from a 

distance and then draw them in to have a closer 

2 

look. I aim to intrigue, inspire and stimulate the 

imagination. 

Do you hope to sell any of your work and are 

sales important to you at this stage 

I would very much like to sell my work but the most 

important thing for me is to raise its profile and get 

it known. 

Are you nervous 

Yes, I am nervous and excited as well. I am fretting 

a little, too. There is so much to do in preparation. 

Have you shown your work in public before, 

outside of an art school context 

Yes, I have been involved in a number of exhibitions 

outside of college – all group shows, but with 

friends, other students or alumni from the art 

school. Long may this continue. 

What’s next after graduation 

The stark reality is that I have to focus on getting 

some money coming in, so I will be looking for 

employment. I have done a little commercial work 

creating electronic book covers, so I may develop 

this further. Alongside that I will carry on developing 

my practice and exhibiting when I can. I would like 

to apply to do a Masters in the not too distant future.

PERSPECTIVES 

Claire Doherty, 

director, Situations

“I’m not shopping when visiting degree shows – I’m not 

looking for a needle in a haystack. Rather, the pleasure is that 

I’m going with my eyes open.” 

Claire Doherty, director of Bristol-based public art producers 

Situations, has a degree shows hit list that includes the Slade, 

Central St Martins, the RCA, Glasgow School of Art and UWE 

(University of the West of England). “I tend to start by looking 

at tutors and lecturers and where they are – I’ll always follow 

Phyllida Barlow!” 

Doherty’s focus on art in the public realm means that she 

approaches students’ work in a very particular way. She is 

interested in artists who demonstrate an awareness of context 

and how their work communicates with an audience. 

“In degree shows, artists are vying for attention amongst their 

peers, but in the public realm art is vying for attention with 

absolutely everything else around it – so it’s actually harder. 

The question is, what is the artwork’s significance, what is its 

value in a given context, how is the artist communicating 

what they want to say It may be that an artist’s visual 

language is quite conventional, but what I’ll be doing as a 

curator is looking for the potential for work to resonate 

outside of the gallery.” 

Doherty describes what you see in degree shows as “the tip 

of the iceberg”; she is always looking for what lies beneath. 

“The degree show is this ultimate moment of display that is 

really tough for a student. Essentially, they have to articulate 

everything they’ve learnt and also their potential, and for most 

artists it’s really the luck of the draw whether it happens for 

them at that particular time. So I’m always aware that what 

you’re trying to do is be generous as a viewer and to think what 

lies behind this moment in their artistic maturing.” 

Doherty believes there is still a lot that needs to be done when 

it comes to preparing students for the possibilities of working

Drawing is central to my art practice. Throughout 

the degree course I have experimented by making drawings that 

are mediated by my senses; this work has led me to question 

the definition and possibilities for drawing itself. As my line of 

enquiry relates to process I prefer to use simple drawing materials 

– cartridge paper, charcoal, biro and felt-tip pens.

in the public realm. “There is a certain reticence amongst a 

number of emerging artists to work outside the gallery, or to 

contemplate working in different ways and looking at different 

approaches to engaging with an audience,” she says. 

Through initiatives like its recently launched Public Art Now 

events and New Situationists commissions for emerging artists, 

Situations is attempting to dispel myths around working in the 

public realm and encourage more artists to work in this area. 

Doherty’s experience, however, suggests that a lot of students 

may have other things on their minds. 

“The presentation mode of many degree shows falls into the 

art fair model; there’s a lot of pressure on young artists to be 

seen and heard by the market as one route to success. But I’m 

most interested in artists who are thinking about how their 

work might unfold beyond the marketable object – about how 

they begin a conversation between their peers, their work and 

their audience.”

Bjorvika, Oslo 


I began this year by making a series of self-portraits informed 

by my perceptions; this led to an exploration of my movements 

within a domestic space. Currently I am developing a more 

conceptual body of work that investigates the drawing process and 

alludes to structures, boundaries, absence and space. 


I believe that making work specifically for the degree show is a 

constraint that would inhibit the development of my thinking. I 

draw on a daily basis and as a result have built up a large body of 

work during the last year. For the degree show I plan to critically 

review my work and choose a group of strong drawings 

that demonstrate my conceptual ideas. 


I hope that the degree show will give me the chance to build 

up a network of contacts and look for opportunities at the start of 

my career. I’m also building an online presence as I think this 

is important. 

Do you hope to sell any of your work and are sales important 

to you at this stage 

I’m not interested in selling my work at this stage. 


I react well to deadlines – the degree show therefore provides an 

exciting challenge. I’m well up for it! 

Have you shown your work in public before, outside of an art 

school context 

I’ve already shown my work at two contemporary art venues in 

Nottingham: the Surface Gallery and Carnival of Monsters. I learnt 

a lot about exhibiting from taking part in these shows. 


I’m currently looking for opportunities following graduation. I’d like 

to get a studio and apply for a residency.

PERSPECTIVES 

Kevin Hunt, artist and curator 

“I made quite a lot of sculptures that contained 

huge amounts of wet paint, and then they’d 

dry over a period of months or weeks. They 

weren’t particularly eloquent!” Kevin Hunt is 

remembering the work he made as a BA fine 

art student at the North Wales School of Art 

and Design, Wrexham. He graduated in 2005. 

“I was grappling with the idea of making an art 

object with a sense of mutability,” he says. “I’m 

quite pleased in retrospect I was at a small college 

and there weren’t lots of people seeing my work – 

the pressure was very much just about me and 

the work rather than me and the world.” 

Based in his hometown of Liverpool since 

graduating, Hunt is a former director of The 

Royal Standard, an artist-led studio, gallery and 

social workspace where he also now has his 

studio. A champion of artist-led activity, he is 

a practicing artist, curator and visiting lecturer 

across the country. And while he has some 

reservations about his own degree show – 

“Looking back, I wasn’t really making the work 

I want to make now” – he has a keen interest 

in what’s coming out of the UK’s art schools, 

particularly those outside London. 

“Degree shows are bit like a circus – all kinds of 

peculiar things happen, some of them utterly 

dreadful while others can be amazing. The 

thing that I love is when you see something that 

is great and you think, if this is what they’re 

doing at this point in their career, what will they 

do in the next two, three, five years” 

As for what makes a memorable fine art degree 

show, Hunt is adamant that it’s the students 

who are already thinking as artists – who aren’t 

bound by educational requirements – that are 

most likely to impress. 

“The most interesting students at a degree 

show are the ones that bypass the idea that 

it’s this culmination of the last three years and 

instead just treat it like another show. What’s 

really exciting is when you meet students who 

are already operating as artists, presenting 

work, putting on shows, working with other 

artists away from their close set of peers at 

art college.” 

That said, Hunt acknowledges that the weight 

of expectation generated by the degree show 

season is hard to resist. “There’s a sense of 

momentum that leads up to it which is just 

exciting,” he says. “But when a student rests 

all their hopes on the degree show, their own 

expectations aren’t likely to be met. It’s just 

a fleeting moment, a tiny part of an artist’s 

career. And of course you’re also limited by 

your own knowledge at that time – you don’t 

really know what is possible yet.”

SHOW & TELL 

CATHERINE WYNNE-PATON, BA FINE ART, 

HEREFORD COLLEGE OF ARTS 


I’m absorbed by text and the physical process of 

writing. I have been trying to find and record the 

moment, the liminal place where writing no longer 

communicates any information yet is still clearly 

writing. Listening plays a central role in my work 

in the form of paying attention to the relationship 

between the marks and the surface. 


I think I have begun to develop confidence in the 

unknown. I don’t feel quite so afraid working with 

uncertainty. At least, I still feel afraid but I have 

begun to realise that being scared is actually quite 

exciting. It’s taken me nearly three years to realise 

that work is about asking questions I don’t know 

the answer to. 


The exploration of the way that writing and text 

breaks down at a certain point is really exciting and 

the act of listening is also important. My degree 

show will show how far I’ve explored all this. 

What would you like your degree show to 

achieve 

Long term, I would like the degree show to be 

one of many exhibitions I take part in. I also hope, 

of course, that people will see my work and that 

further opportunities to exhibit will develop out 

of it. 

Do you hope to sell any of your work and are 

sales important to you at this stage 

Having someone interested enough in what I’m 

doing (and/or the result) to think about buying 

a piece of my work would be uplifting, but what 

is more important to me at this stage is the 

opportunity to get my work seen. 

2 3 


Yes, I am very nervous, but I’m also excited 

because this exhibition is the beginning of my 

future as a fine artist. 


I am one of the directors of Framework in Hereford 

– a new organisation that I have been involved in 

setting up. Framework will support emerging artists 

in the area by initiating artist socials, increasing 

opportunities to exhibit, hosting critique sessions 

and promoting a collaborative atmosphere. These 

activities will evolve and change as the group does. 

I also want to study at MA level, because the degree 

has really just whetted my appetite for more. I’m 

very aware now of the type of environment I thrive 

in and a support network of fellow creative people is 

vital to me sustaining my practice. I am interested in 

teaching at Foundation level; I know I’ll have to make 

a living and I enjoy working with other artists.

PERSPECTIVES 

Deirdre Figueiredo, 

director, Craftspace 

1 

2 

Plenty has changed in applied arts in the time Deirdre 

Figueiredo has been going to degree shows – particularly in the 

last decade. “Ten years ago we would have focused on ceramics, 

glass, furniture, textiles,” says Figueiredo, director of 

Birmingham-based development organisation Craftspace. 

“Now, because we’re working in what I call ‘craft in an 

expanded field’, we’re not limiting ourselves. Craft makers are 

working in many different areas – video, animation, digital 

media – so we’ve widened the scope of where we’re looking 

for talent quite dramatically.” 

The last few years have seen major changes in craft education, 

with discipline-specific courses closing down and new, 

interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary courses replacing them. 

“People are working across media in different ways and 

practices are much more blurred than they ever were,” 

adds Figueiredo. 

The loss of specialist courses has made it increasingly 

difficult for new makers to learn age-old craft skills. Yet while 

Figueiredo laments their closure, she also believes that craft 

is in an exciting place as it responds to the changes and 

embraces new technologies. 

“In craft, using new technology stretches from fantastic access to all 

sorts of digital tools that a lot of labs are now equipped with – 

digital sewing machines, jack looms, etc – to the use of social media 

and interactive and open source technology. It also cuts across into 

performance craft, which goes beyond just demonstrating and into 

something that explores making in a live way.” 

Degree shows, says Figueiredo, offer a first-hand insight into 

how these developments are influencing makers, providing a 

perspective on new trends. “I really enjoy them – it’s just good 

to see a sense of renewal and something fresh coming through 

every year.” 

3 

The shows also form a key part of the Craftspace research 

cycle. “What we do in terms of strategy is informed by what our 

interests are, but of course our interests are really informed by 

what makers are doing. So visiting degree shows is a very 

important part of a research and planning process, and thinking 

about who we might be working with in three to five years time.” 

Figueiredo’s focus tends to be on shows in the West Midlands, 

with Birmingham’s School of Jewellery singled out for its 

vision, direction and open approach. (“I know there’ll be a 

range of conceptual works there,” she says, “it’s not just 

jewellery as you’d imagine it to be.”) A trip to the New 

Designers exhibition in London covers a lot of the other 

new talent. 

Crucially, though, she believes that what you see at a degree 

show often doesn’t tell the full story. “Applied art students are 

much more savvy than they used to be about using degree 

shows as an opportunity to sell work. What a student might 

show is something they hope will be a selling range, while 

actually their interests lie elsewhere, such as socially engaged 

practice. So it’s important to look beyond the object, to delve a 

little deeper.”

SHOW & TELL 

JUSTINA URBON, BA FINE ART, 

MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY 


The delicate nature and the organic aesthetic of 

my sculptures is created by challenging the material 

properties of thermoplastic – commonly known as 

hot glue. A lack of a permanent place to exist adds to 

the sensitivity of the sculptures, thus requiring some 

form of support to rely on. 

How has your work developed in your 

final year 

The final year has been overshadowed by many side 

projects. However, my sculptural work developed 

significantly in the second year, and in the third year 

I have been exploring alternative ways of displaying 

these sculptures. 


I can’t reveal the details. All I can suggest is that it will 

be a sculptural work and you should come see it! 


I strive to use the degree show to present an elevated 

outcome of what I have been developing since the 

start of my degree. I believe that for a degree show 

to be ‘successful’, it is important that it retains an 

essence of a journey that the three years have taken, 

and it is irrelevant whether your friends and family 

like the final destination. In fact, the less they like it 

the better. 

Do you hope to sell any of your work and 

are sales important to you at this stage 

A part of me thinks that art should remain an entity 

of its own and should not be used as a commodity. 

There seems to be this ‘arrangement’ between artists 

and the ‘outside’ world that says: “OK, we will allow 

you to do whatever it is that you do, that we don’t 

quite comprehend (or want to). However, for this 

‘freedom’, you have to return the ‘favour’, and agree 

to an ‘exchange’.” Of course this exchange comes 

in a form that society can understand: money. I am 

not immune to it, I understand the concept. So the 

answer is yes, I hope to sell my work. However, the 

reality, and especially for freshly-baked art graduates, 

is that this exchange is not an equal one. This needs 

to change – labour has to be paid for. 


I feel nervous, but I think the anxiety is directed more 

at the unknown that awaits after graduating. 

Have you shown your work in public before, 

outside of an art school context 

Yes. A group of like-minded students and I have 

formed an art collective called The Common. We 

held a site-specific exhibition at Islington Arts Factory 

in September 2013, and had a short film screened 

at an ICA/Middlesex University symposium. 

We have two definite projects that we will embark 

on after graduation. 


To remain in London: experience the struggle that 

ensues after graduating and choosing not to move 

back in with one’s parents.

THE CASS SCHOOL OF ART SUMMER SHOW 

The Cass Summer Show opens on the 10 June and for two weeks 

will see the studios in Central House, opposite the Whitechapel 

Art Gallery in Aldgate, transformed into a busy exhibition and 

performance space. The exhibition will showcase work from over 

80 graduating Fine Art students who have been studying within the 

school’s innovative thematic ‘studios’. 

The studio system supports students to develop their own practice in 

a studio group where shared themes become a focus for discussion, 

field trips, screenings, seminars and live projects. 

Studio themes and leaders exhibiting this year include: Public Acts 

(Patrick Brill and Oriana Fox), Materiality / Immateriality (Ben Cain 

and Francesco Pedraglio), Conversations with Culture (Pil and Galia 

Kollectiv and Nicola McCartney), Others and the Self (Rosemarie 

McGoldrick & Pete Fillingham), Image-Object, Object-Image (Mel 

Brimfield and Andrea Medjesi-Jones), and Narrative, Anti-Narrative 

and Photographic Practice (Sue Andrews and Mick Williamson). 

The merger less than two years ago of the former Sir John Cass 

Faculty of Art, Media and Design with the award-winning Faculty of 

Architecture and Spatial Design, to form the Cass, has continued to 

deliver many positive developments and opportunities. 

New Fine Art studio spaces designed by Cass’s own Architecture 

Research Unit were unveiled in December 2013 at Central House. 

This scheme also provided new flexible project spaces, lecture/ 

screening halls and seminar rooms. The project will continue with a 

stunning new ground floor gallery set for completion later in 2014 

and permission recently granted for a rooftop garden to showcase 

sculptures and installations. 

The Cass is progressing with its approach to live projects and 

externally facing events, engaging students with the local cultural 

quarter as well as developing important projects further afield in 

Moscow, Brazil and Sierra Leone. Michael Upton, Academic Leader 

at The Cass said: "I’m really looking forward to the Cass Summer 

Show this year, which promises to be another lively and eclectic mix 

of thought provoking and visually powerful work. 

“The Cass benefits from a highly active and diverse group of students 

and some exceptional artist-tutors, leading to a dynamic and exciting 

studio culture. Cass’s own Patrick Brill (aka artist Bob and Roberta 

Smith) has referred to the new Cass faculty as the ‘Aldgate Bauhaus’ 

and there is a vibrancy, sense of possibility and an openness to 

dialogue and collaboration that is hugely refreshing.” 

The Cass Summer Show opens with a private view on the 10 

June and then runs from 11-21 June at Central House, 59-63 

Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7PF. An online catalogue 

will be available at www.thecass.com

COLLECTING 

Buying art at degree shows: 

10 tips for new collectors 

You’ll see some fabulous work at this year’s degree shows, some of which you might 

just want to take home with you. Contemporary Art Society North offers some useful 

advice on how to go about it. 

1 

Do your homework: Find out about the 

art school or university. Does it have a good 

reputation Have any alumni achieved wider 

success within the mainstream art world 

Who is teaching there and what do they 

specialise in 

2 

Ask around: Get the views of art world 

professionals such as commercial dealers, 

curators, artists and critics. The endorsement 

of these individuals will play a pivotal role in an 

artist’s career success. 

3 

Talk to tutors: If possible, talk to the tutors 

and ask which students they think are the most 

promising, are continuing on to MA courses, 

or have already made plans to continue their 

practice by organising studios or residencies. 

4 

Know your budget: Decide in advance how 

much you’re willing to spend. This isn’t just 

about the money – it will also help to determine 

the scale, media and placement (floor or wallbased) 

of works you consider. 

5 

Think about how you’ll display the work: 

You could buy something, keep it in storage and 

look at it admiringly when the mood takes you 

– but much better to make sure beforehand that 

you’ve got somewhere to display it. 

6 

Make notes: When visiting degree shows, 

allow time to look round all the work and make 

notes of artists who particularly interest you 

and why. See if someone who knows the place 

well can take you around. 

7 

Don’t rush into things: You can register an 

interest in work without committing to a sale. 

Say you are excited by the work, but would 

like a second look. Talk again to the artist and 

get a deeper sense of their influences, creative 

process and future plans. 

8 

Be patient: Deciding how to price an 

artwork is often very difficult for students as 

they balance the time invested in making it with 

the desire to sell it. Don’t worry if they haven’t 

yet decided on a price – allow them the time to 

seek advice. 

9 

Don’t be put off: If the asking price seems 

too high, this may just be down to a student’s 

inexperience or wishful thinking. Graduates 

who are serious about being an artist would 

generally rather see their work in someone’s 

collection than unsold. But don’t pressure 

1 

2 

the artist into selling for less than they are 

comfortable with, either. Ask to see other 

works, or consider commissioning a new piece 

to match your budget. 

10 

Follow your instinct: After all that careful 

research, it still comes down to the art itself 

and what you feel about it – always make sure 

you buy something because you love it and are 

happy to live with it. 

This article is based on advice provided by 

Contemporary Art Society North. The organisation 

runs a membership scheme and welcomes anyone 

with an interest in contemporary art and collecting 

to join and participate in the exclusive Members’ 

events programme of artist studio visits, curator-led 

exhibition tours, and opportunities to meet with other 

collectors. For more information, contact Mark Doyle,

DEFINING SUCCESS 

“Keep the wilting flowers 

away from the visitors” 

What do tutors and art school directors think a degree show needs to do 

for it to be considered successful We asked around for some thoughts. 

What makes a successful degree show Linda 

Drew, deputy director of Glasgow School of 

Art, has been to quite a few and knows what 

she likes: “I think there’s a kind of alchemy of 

(un)predictable parts; above all, good art and 

design work. I prefer a well-curated selection 

with captions rather than lots of extraneous 

material. I love to see excited students who 

are able and willing to engage with you about 

their work.” 

Ginny Button, director of The Falmouth 

School of Art, says: “A degree show should 

enable students to put themselves on the 

line, and provide a real experience of what 

it means to engage with an audience. It is a 

pivotal as well as celebratory moment, looking 

backwards to reflect on what they’ve achieved 

during their degree, as well as looking 

forwards to continue with their practice. 

It should never be a finale, but more of a 

springboard to the next stage.” 

For Sarah R Key, joint award leader, fine art, at 

Staffordshire University, the degree show is 

about bringing together the many strands of 

a course – and not being afraid to take a few 

risks. “It should reflect the breadth of practices 

that emerge from a broad-based course and 

the richness that comes from diversity within 

the studio environment. It pulls together the 

many threads of individual artistic enquiry 

to create an exciting platform from which 

tomorrow’s artists can emerge.” 

Steve Hawley, Associate Dean Research at 

Manchester School of Art, believes a degree 

show should deliver the unexpected: “A 

successful show shouldn’t be concerned with 

polish necessarily, although professionalism 

and attention to detail are important. The 

main thing is to see work that takes risks 

within an awareness of the past – and that 

produces an involuntary thrill of surprise.” 

Dean Hughes, director of undergraduate 

studies at Edinburgh School of Art, says 

degree shows “are for me synonymous 

with a change in the weather. It’s a light 

and optimistic time.” He continues: “At 

their worst they bring out the drain pipedividing 

megalomaniac. As a high point, they 

sometimes bring forth a truly memorable 

experience which is free from the dominant 

mercantile culture industry.” 

“Something for everyone and many things for 

anyone” is what Paul Harris, head of Gray’s 

School of Art, Aberdeen, expects from a 

degree show. “[It should hold] challenges and 

rewards, both sensual and intellectual, and 

should do exactly what it’s meant to do – 

launch the newest generation of society’s most 

creative minds and talent into the world.” 

Wayne Lloyd, fine arts course leader at UWE 

Bristol, adds: “People look on degree shows as 

if they take place at the beginning of an artist’s 

careers. But significant things have already 

happened to these new artists. Experiences 

from an artist’s early life continue to be a 

source of material for decades to come, but 

being older doesn’t make you smarter. Their 

art is good right now...” 

Even good art, though, can be let down by 

bad presentation. Glasgow School of Art’s 

deputy director has a view on that: “Each 

students’ showing space need not be curated 

to resemble a ‘mini me’ show. Keep the wilting 

flowers, personal stash of wine and other 

artefacts away from the visitors; it really does 

detract. The best degree shows feel great 

on the night and continue to have a strong 

student presence into the following week – 

after all, this is practice for art practice.”

“If I was giving advice to myself a year ago, 

I’d probably say: ‘Keep calm.’ I got very 

stressed during my degree show.” 

Ali Reed is talking one year on from 

graduating with a BA in fine art from 

Staffordshire University. It’s been an eventful 

12 months that has included setting up a 

studio space in Stoke city centre, a three-week 

residency in Wakefield, and in March winning 

the New Art West Midlands prize. 

“I’m still getting used to juggling part-time 

work, managing the studios and doing my own 

practice,” she says. “One of the first things I 

did was set up Majestic Studios in Stoke with 

two other graduates – it gives me a secure 

space in which to do my art work and keep 

my practice going.” 

Originally from nearby Newcastle under 

Lyme, Reed has no plans to leave the area. 

“I’m quite sick of people saying, ‘I want to 

get out of Stoke’,” she says. “Most recent 

graduates just want to move away, so to 

have that studio environment where you can 

work with other artists, I think that’s really 

important.” 

2 

Reed received a £1000 cash prize for winning 

New Art West Midlands, along with a 

residency at A3 Project Space in Birmingham 

from 4 March to 3 May. Her practice draws 

on architecture and the built environment; 

she’s yet to sell any work though, perhaps 

because it is largely installation-based. “It’s 

quite difficult to buy and I still don’t feel very 

clued up on that side of things.” 

For the time being, then, it’s working three 

days a week that pays the bills. “I’m painting 

clay figures for a little family-run pottery 

company in Stoke,” she says. “I’m glad it’s still 

creative in some way.”
