Amazing exhibits at the Degree Show

A giant Meccano set, speakers hidden in a shelf and a blanket made of envelopes are just some of the amazing exhibits that will form part of the Dundee Degree Show which starts on 19th May 2007.

Students from all disciplines, including Fine Art, Animation, Architecture, Illustration, Jewellery, Textile Design and Interactive Media Design will show their work as they prepare to graduate from the University’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the School of Architecture. Exhibitions will also be included from Time Based Art, Graphic Design, Interior and Environmental Design and Innovative Product Design.

The show takes place throughout the two buildings and fourteen floors that form Duncan of Jordanstone, with every spare space exhibiting art. The show, the first of the season, attracts thousands of visitors to the University and is seen as a great springboard for emerging artists.

Duncan of Jordanstone has a reputation as one of the most exciting art schools in the UK and many of its students go on to be world renowned artists. The reputation was strengthened this week with the announcement that a feasibility study had been launched to explore the possibility of a new Dundee based link with the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Dean of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design Professor Georgina Follett described this year’s show as one of the "cultural highlights of the Dundee arts calendar."

"The annual degree show at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design showcases the amazing level of talent and creativity of our graduates from the Schools of Design, Fine Art, Television and Architecture," she said.
