DJCAD Masters Show 2012

Some of the UK's top postgraduate art and design students will be exhibiting their eye-catching and thought-provoking work when this year's DJCAD Masters Show opens later this week.
Around 50 postgraduate students from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (DJCAD), part of the University of Dundee, will be exhibiting work from five Masters programmes - Animation & Visualisation, Design, Fine Art, Forensic Art and Medical Art.
DJCAD can boast some of the UK's most exciting and innovative arts courses, and work produced on these programmes will be exhibited from 18th-26th August. The exhibition will take place both at DJCAD and at GENERATOR Projects, Mid Wynd.
Jeanette Paul, Head of Learning & Teaching at DJCAD, said, "The postgraduate students have produced highly stimulating, thought-provoking work which demonstrates the depth of intelligent research as well as breadth of creativity, imagination and innovation.
"Students on our Masters programmes only have one year in which to develop their work to a new level or in a different direction. They therefore work extremely hard throughout the year and their dedication is demonstrated in the work displayed in this year's Show.
"The result is a range of conceptual, thought-provoking and vibrant work, and I would encourage everyone to come along and find out more about what the students have been doing - you will be inspired."
The Masters Show celebrations will begin with a special, invite-only Preview Evening on Friday, 17th August. An Open Doors event between 11am-4pm the next day will see a series of guided tours and student presentations take place.
It will remain open until Sunday, 26th August. The exhibition is open from 10am-8pm on weekdays and from 10am-4pm at weekends.
In addition to the exhibition at DJCAD, a small selection of work from the Master of Fine Art course will be displayed at GENERATOR Projects.
