Perth College UHI - Degree Show 2019

Perth College UHI, Contemporary Art and Contextualised Practice BA(Hons) ‘Resolve’ DEGREE SHOW 2019

‘Resolve’ is a Degree Show by students from the new Contemporary Art and Contextualised Practice honours degree course at Perth College University of the Highlands and Islands. This course emphasised the interpretation and contextualisation of art theory and is aimed to equip students with the creative integrity needed to work collaboratively and to demonstrate the value of contemporary art practices for society.

The thought-provoking works on show from this year’s graduates range from painting, installations to relational practices. Each body of work explores different subject matter – portraiture, identity, mental health and the world around us. The students developed their own individual styles and worked collaboratively towards the exhibition.

‘Resolve’ is the culmination of their work to date and shows their distinct styles and forms of creative expression. The show is designed to be inclusive to give viewers an opportunity to engage and experience the artworks in their own way. The venue – a vacant unit in a busy shopping centre – showcases artworks by individual graduates and reflects the credo of the teaching programme, which focuses on contextualising art for the twenty-first century and bringing it to a wider audience
