Newcastle University MFA Degree Show 2019

Each August the Newcastle University Master of Fine Art students take over the Fine Art building and fill the beautiful studio spaces that span over five floors. The result is unique and often site-specific work that makes the most out of the large-scale spaces, with the addition of the newly renovated Hatton Gallery.

Fourteen students from both year 1 and 2 exhibited work across the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation, and new media. The show was curated in collaboration with Turner-prize nominated artists Jane and Louise Wilson.

Exhibitors were:

Alice Adams, Eleanor Curry, Carole McCourt, Jenny Mc Namara, Rebecca Reed, Yan Yin, Ella Jones, Sophia Juergens, Darryn Sharpe, Genevieve Stone, Zenaira Mahmood, Wan-Chen Chan, Sara Palmer, Valeriia Savina

I enjoyed the diversity of the exhibition, and there was some very strong work. The luxury of having such beautiful studio and gallery spaces to work in and then exhibit in obviously had a beneficial effect on the work produced. I look forward to seeing how these artists continue to develop as they, in the case of the 1st years, move into their final year of the MFA or for the graduating students, leave the educational establishment.
