PRESS RELEASE
Featuring the works of Jazz Caruana, Phillip Hall-Patch, Lucia Hamlin, Connel McLaughlin, Raine Pavey-Dorn, Claire Scanlan, Victoria Suvoroff, and Danielle Uden, this exciting exhibition brings together the culminating works of MRes Arts and Cultural Research, showcasing a hugely diverse and new set of explored topics.
Through a mix of both practice-led and theory-based research, this collective of exhibited work, redefines the predisposed perspectives of each of their chosen research fields, offering intriguing new insights and forms of representation. Themes ranging from eccentric , to political, and representative, each student has seized their research area as their own, and re-ignited it within their existing playing fields, highlighting new investigations and giving way to alternative interpretations. The extensive array of research approaches demonstrated within the MRes, truly emphasises the significance and lure of both practice-lead research, as well as traditional research.
PERSEPECTIVES – Introducing the Final Showcase Exhibition for MRes Arts and Cultural Research, an engaging collection of perspectives by emerging researchers and artists.

MRES ARTS AND CULTURAL RESEARCH
FINAL SHOWCASE EXHIBITION 2018
PRESS RELEASE
EXHIBITING RESEARCHERS:
• Jazz Caruana’s study is embedded in the world of dress history, iconology and material culture. Looking at illuminations from the Bruges market, Jazz’s work analyses English male fashion from the late 15th century contained within copies of Froissart’s Chroniques, for the subtle messages about class, national style and culture within.
• Phillip Hall-Patch’s work marries Photography With Sculpture: The history of the relationship between Photography and Sculpture can be summarised through the prepositions; Of, Into and As. This research project explores the hybrid notion of a Photography With Sculpture.
• Lucia Hamlin’s body of work represents the aetiology of alternate worlds, fictioned through the ontology of ‘Out-of-place-Artefacts’. Under the philosophical grounding of Speculative Realism, and Joseph Campbell’s ‘Monomyth’, her research attempts to situate Pseudo narratives within academic research.
• Connel McLaughlin’s sculpture ‘Pigs’ (2018) is an assemblage of readymade meats bound to a fibreglass pig with cotton cord. The work was produced as part of a research method for the artist’s Master’s thesis. Alongside the art practice method, he interweaves historical materialist aesthetics, critique of ideology, and structuralist semiotics in order to challenge understandings of how animal rights art relates to animal rights politics.
• Raine Pavey-Dorn’s research aims to challenge preconceptions based on our internal narratives, in an attempt to demystify the taboo, and create a positive visibility of a minority lesbian subculture.
• Claire Scanlon’s research explores drawing at the intersection of art and non-philosophy through the diagrammatic. The work on show comprises a set of philo-fictional ‘imagethought’ experiments in the form of a myriorama card game.
• Victoria Suvoroff’s research “Towards the Green Book” is an exploration of a different approach to representations of female masculinity from Soviet History through the art-practice. An art-book of multimedia works is presented as an outcome of the research alongside the written thesis that questioned: How can a method of art-practice based on archive with the use of Non- Representational methodology offer a different approach when exploring representations of female masculinity from a non-western culture?
• Danielle Uden’s research investigates through art practice, critical discourse analysis and frame analysis, the function of the Prime Minister’s and the Leader of the Opposition’s discourse within the constraints of Prime Minister’s Questions. Assuming both parties as political actors, her research looks through the lens of dramaturgical theory, onto how multiple audiences are proximised to the politician’s values through individualised frames.
