MA Degree Show Bath School of Art and Design 2019 (Bat Spa University)
The 2019 MA Degree catalogue featuring master's students work from Curatorial Practice, Ceramics, Fashion and Textiles, Fine Art and Visual Communication. Designed by Grazia Campanella and Simon Taylor. The identity was influenced by the new Bath Spa School of Art and Design campus at Locksbrook Road. The site was originally a Herman Miller Furniture Factory and was designed by renowned architect Nicholas Grimshaw. Herman Miller’s design philosophy can be summed up in their mission statement ‘Inspiring designs to help people do great things’. This is something that is considered in all Herman Miller product designs and developments. It is also at the centre to all of their external design collaborations. It seems apt that the building is now an art school continuing the development of making and creating. It was a pleasure to study within the action factory environment, particularly the photographic darkrooms and printing and etching workshops. Simon Taylor Visual Artist

CURATORIAL
PRACTICE
MA Curatorial Practice combines theory, history and
discussion of current practice with live projects in public
spaces. This year’s graduating students have explored a
wide range of innovative and interdisciplinary curatorial
strategies. Individual projects have ranged from costume
exhibits within National Trust collection displays to group
shows at local galleries such as 44AD. Collaboration,
collective practices and engaging new audiences has played a
key part in experimentation with discursive models including
a series of public events across the city that have begun to
further explore arts relationship to nature, climate change,
ecology and ideas of empathy and connection. This has
involved running a fortnightly art salon in a local pub, a waste
project on the Mediawall at Newton Park and two weeks of
live events around ecology and the natural world at Walcott
Chapel.
Working with other fields beyond art has been
particularly rewarding, collaborations with MA Sound Arts,
Creative Writing, Fashion and Environmental Humanities
and others, has highlighted the relevance and value of
the curatorial to the widest forms of creative practice and
research. Curatorial activism has been a prominent feature
exploring issues of decolonisation, gender, ethics, exclusion
of audiences and identity-based curating. In addition, MACP
curated its first international conference Art in the Age of the
Anthropocene and Ecocide, which explored artistic, curatorial
and cultural responses to urgent environmental and ecological
crises.
