We have produced a toolkit to share learning and resources that aims to support people to work together to make art, explore exhibitions and have creative conversations.

Event: Exhibition – Pavlov & the Kingdom of Dogs: A Secret History |  Until 1 June 2024 at 35 North Gallery, Brighton, BN1 1YB.

The exhibition is the outcome of an arts-based research project, collaboratively produced by Matt Adams, Principal Lecturer in Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Science and Jim Wilson, a designer and maker in the School of Art and Media, University of Brighton, with additional support from various technical specialists in SAM. Featuring a series of dioramas, combined with images, text and audio features, the exhibition reimagines an aspect of the life and work of Russian psychophysiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Remembered today for revolutionising psychology, here Pavlov’s dogs, once anonymous experimental subjects, take centre stage in a darkly playful twist on accepted androcentric and anthropocentric narratives, shattering preconceptions about Pavlov’s methods, supposedly docile experimental animals, and the universal laws of science. Tapping into our enduring fascination for miniature worlds, the three-dimensional scale models incorporate dogs, humans, lab equipment, surgical appendages, experimental procedures, parkland, architecture, interior design and medical technology.  Highlights include the sinister goings on in the Towers of Silence, an antivivisection […]

Event: “In Edition” – Fine Art Printmaking exhibition is on the top floor landing of Grand Parade

Each student has been tasked with producing an edition of prints in each of the four main printmaking areas, screen, litho, etching and relief.   Returning back to each process has allowed the student to develop new skills and insights into their own working practice. This term has been full of challenges, from collaborative printmaking, group activities and small student led exhibitions, they have risen to the challenge and begun to form a discernable identity as an artist. From an intensively taught semester 1 they are now developing real independence of practice which is vitally important as they move into L5. Watching their journey this year has been immensely exciting and we wait eagerly to see what they will do next year. Image credit – created by students.

“I cannot penetrate, cannot reach into the Photograph. I can only sweep it with my glance, like a smooth surface” (Barthes, 2000: 106) We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the International research symposium that focuses on the intricate relationships between photography and autobiographical memory, which is scheduled to take place on 18 July 2024 at The University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK.

We invite scholars, artists, academics, practitioner-researchers, researcherpractitioners, and other professionals doing research into relationships between memory and images created through the “frightfully speculative eye” (Deleuze, 1990: 243) of the photographic camera to propose papers and panels that explore, but are not […]
