Trip to Glasgow.

Recently I went to Glasgow for a weekend break, whilst there I explored the city and visited sight seeing spots. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum was the highlight of the trip. Not only was the architecture breath-taking but the art and historical objects were fascinating.

Artworks- Generation Z exhibition.

After visiting Islington Mill today we went on to go and have a look around the Generation Z exhibition and then were invited to visit the studios in the building. I really enjoyed this exhibition but looking around the studios a great insight into life after university. Speaking to past students off of the course who are now doing residencies at these studios was helpful in finding out about what it is like when you are no longer part of education.
 
 

Studio Visits- Islington Mill.

Today we visited Islington Mill, Salford, to have a look at the studio spaces they have on offer for graduate students. Our personal tutor was also telling us it was a good opportunity to have a look at the exhibition space available as that is where our exhibition in May will be. I really liked the welcoming and creative atmosphere they have there. There is so much going on and I love how bright the space is.

 
Bar area- My personal tutor was telling us this space is good for pieces of video that someone wants to exhibit.
