Really exiting body of work from Petroc's degree students this year. The exhibition title; "mass medium", is an understatement of the extremely variable quality and form the works in the show cover. From 100s of post-it notes and knitted structures to more traditional paintings and pottery the exhibition is bound to house something that will amuse, interest or impress you.
I am going to be completely honest and admit I am not a fan of pushing 16-21 year olds into having "cutting edge", truly heartfelt (note the emphasis) conceptual ideas that give their work a meaning and purpose. The majority of the time it comes across as false or, quite frankly, boring; especially when the dull concepts aren't even coupled with good work. However, I would say basically all of the work in mass medium had aesthetic appeal aside and often great concepts behind every piece.
