Studio106 Art Gallery is delighted to invite you to Banding The Boundaries, the second exhibition curated with the University For The Creative Arts, Epsom.

Showing in parallel, outstanding graduates’ work alongside their tutors’ work, Banding the Boundaries challenges and questions creative processes and the relationship between those who facilitate and those who participate in learning. Encouraging dialogue, this exhibition questions both individual practices and examines the shifting relationship between teacher and student. Collaboration in art allows participants to open up imaginative processes, and to mark a critical discourse in individual and collective practices.

Banding The Boundaries aims to create an encounter for young and established artists working in diverse artistic disciplines as they become a collective, bound together by constructing and deconstructing the ideas around what something is and what something can be.
Using models of an experimental art school, a workshop led by the students for their tutors will be organised throughout the exhibition; all artists involved become boundless in their creativity and generate a sense of unification between energy and aesthetics.

The importance of Banding The Boundaries is particularly relevant today. The increasing professionalisation of art and the current issues with access to art education makes this initiative meaningful. Re-assessing methodologies in art education highlights the incommensurable importance of dialogue between academics, students and society.

Banding the Boundaries is part of Pivotal Shifts, a project supported by The Arts Council England, London.
