Fine Art students from DJCAD joined forces with Creative Writing students from the University of St Andrews in the second year of their collaborative visual and poetic enterprise.
The show has been dubbed 'M & M' because it features Masters students from the M. Litt in Creative Writing at St Andrews and the MFA Master of Fine Arts at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art. Groups of students have chosen themes and approaches for their joint works. One group is producing an offbeat version of the kind of inhouse magazine normally found on a railway train. Another group is making 'a book-in-a-box'.
Perhaps the most unusual collaborative effort promises to spread 'art objects' around St Andrews for people to find - a kind of treasure hunt where the only prize is the pleasure of perceiving a pattern.
Professor Douglas Dunn of St Andrews School of English said: "This is the second year that we've run the project. It seems to work very well. Last year one group of artists and writers chose to collaborate on interpreting Hokusai's famous painting, "The Wave". The writers produced poetry in a Japanese style. The artists made a wonderful version of "The Wave" using bread. We admired it and then we consumed it."
