‘Pleasurewood Thrills!’ is an interim show of MA Contemporary fine art students. The exhibition brings together a diversity of artistic practice, ranging from video, text-based, photographic and sculpture. Starting with familiar or overlooked aspects of everyday life all six artists express a desire to connect with and reinterpret the world around them. The resulting work is a journey into the quotidian, the nostalgic, the kitsch and the magical.

An assemblage is not a set of predetermined parts (such as pieces of a plastic model aeroplane) that are then put together in order or into an already-conceived structure …. Nor is an assemblage a random collection of things, since there is a sense that an assemblage is a whole of some sort of that expresses some identity and claims a territory.
