prospectus time-lapse

We began, students, staff, experts and others at Chelsea College of Art and Design, through collaboration and practice based research, to trace a history of radical exhibitions, and make an exhibition. Through weekly seminars, workshops and events our project morphed into prospectus, as our interests incorporated art education, and our own experiences of trying to perform it. 

The etymology of the word prospectus suggests to ‘look-forward’ into the future. Of course, to pro-spect we need to trace past patterns and events, to establish where we can look from. An archaeology of art education lead us to the foundation of the first public Art and Design School of 1837, which had an exhibited collection at its heart. Exhibitions and art school education art intimately bound.
