‘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.

'Distant Dialogues'

The project reaches out to passer-bys worldwide asking them to engage in a dialogue with the artist for one year. It involves a sense of trust, curiosity, and connectivity as well as a chance encounter through correspondence. Participants in different locations have volunteered to put up the ‘call for correspondence’ in the form of a small poster where it may intervene in someone’s everyday routine, such as, a bus stop, in a phone box or on a lamp post. The project is currently part of Interventions Part 1: Dispersal curated by Anneka French.
