‘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.

When people enter an unfamiliar environment they experience a temporary loss of control without the necessary language skills to explain themselves. This leads to a feeling of overwhelming loneliness and a sensation that you are the only one of your kind in your own world, at the same time separated from, and infinitely surrounded by the others - a language is formed.
