East Wing X : Material Matters

21 Jan-1 Jul 2012

Overview

‘Material Matters’ will be the tenth anniversary East Wing exhibition organized entirely by a committee of dedicated students at The Courtauld Institute of Art in Somerset House. It will look at the process of making and break down the boundaries between the artist, the artwork and the viewer, in order to provide a direct sensory experience. In order to provide this we will be displaying a wide range of media, from paintings and ceramic sculpture, to projections and site specific installations. We also hope to challenge the stereotypical view of art history and art historians alike and create an exhibition that is accessible for everyone, proving that contemporary and cutting edge art does not have to be elitist. A small selection of confirmed artists include Gabriel Dawe, Rachel Whiteread, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Damien Hirst, Simon Edmondson and Slinkachu.
