Inspiring creativity since 1858 The Past The original Cambridge School of Art was opened in 1858 by renowned British art critic, draughtsman, watercolourist and prominent social thinker John Ruskin, and has remained wellregarded ever since. Legendary cartoonist and graphic artist Ronald Searle studied here, as did Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest graphic artists, illustrators and printmakers, and the pioneer of auto-destructive art, Gustav Metzger. In 1953 Odile Crick, a lecturer at Cambridge School of Art, drew the original sketch of the double helix of DNA, to illustrate the pioneering work on genetics of Crick and Watson at Cambridge University. During the highly creative and experimental 1960s, Cambridge School of Art was home to many talented tutors and gifted students including caricaturists Roger Law and Peter Fluck, of Spitting Image fame, and Pink Floyd members Syd Barrett and Dave Gilmour, who played one of their first gigs, at Christmas 1966, from the balcony of the Ruskin studios.

Illustrator of the first Harry Potter cover, Thomas Taylor, was also a student here.

The Present Cambridge School of Art retains the creative spirit of its foundation, upon which the modern-day art school is built. Engaging with current debates surrounding contemporary practice and with state-of-the-art facilities, Cambridge School of Art today is a perfect combination of the old and the new. The original Ruskin building houses light, bright studios along with industry-standard film and photographic studios. 150-year-old printing presses operate alongside dedicated Apple Mac suites, whilst the Ruskin Gallery digital art gallery hosts both traditional exhibitions and contemporary multimedia presentations.

Cambridge – A creative hotspot The Creative Industries are now worth £76.9 billion per year to the UK economy and 1 in 12 UK jobs are to be found in the Creative Economy (UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Jan 2015). Cambridgeshire has a higher concentration of jobs in the creative economy than the UK as a whole* with more than 1600 creative enterprises, employing over 12,000 staff. Cambridge is a creative hotspot** with rich opportunities for collaboration with the city’s many academic, entertainment, technological, scientific, arts and heritage organisations.

Computer Gaming Around 18% of the UK’s computer games workforce is based in Cambridge, including Sony’s Playstation development studio, Guerrilla Cambridge, and Jagex, which employs over 500 staff.

Cambridge School of Art hosts the annual Brains Eden involving an international 48 hour games jam, in which student teams from across the globe compete for prizes, aided by representatives from Sony, Jagex, Guerrilla Cambridge, PlayStation First, ARM, Ninja Theory, Frontier Developments, other major UK games companies and notable indie game developers. The winners of the 2014 Brains Eden jam were a team from Anglia Ruskin University.

Creative Front Creative Front Cambridgeshire, co-ordinated by Anglia Ruskin University, supports and promotes creative practitioners and creative businesses, acting as a hub for collaboration, interaction and networking. It is also a vital resource for engagement with business services, development and employment within the sector, from which our students benefit.

Creative Front Futures, a careers convention for our creative students, featured a keynote speech from fashion designer and entrepreneur, Wayne Hemingway MBE. Other creative industries or businesses our students regularly work or engage with in the Cambridge area include: Games Eden, Cambridge Design Collective, Cambridge University Press, Supremebeing, Grafton Centre, CAMPUS, Marshalls Aerospace, Kettle’s Yard, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Fry Art Gallery and Museum, Cambridge Arts Picturehouse, Super 8 Festival, Cambridge Film Consortium, Cambridge Arts Theatre, ADC Theatre, Menagerie, Moulin Exes, The Junction, Classworks Theatre, Heffers bookshop, Waterstones, and Cambridge City Council.

Ruskin Gallery Situated at the heart of Cambridge School of Art, the Ruskin Gallery is a unique exhibition space surrounded by artists’ studios and incorporating a digital gallery. Open to the general public, all exhibitions are free and carefully curated to provide a singular and memorable gallery-going experience. The Ruskin Gallery welcomes over 10,000 visitors every year and shows touring exhibitions of international standing alongside student work.

With its vaulted ceilings, character and light, the Ruskin Gallery is the perfect backdrop for traditional shows, whilst the digital technology is fully flexible, allowing both traditional hanging and digital viewing, either independently or at the same time.

The balcony of the gallery regularly shows student work, and the basement space is a photography gallery, showing both professional and student exhibitions.

Recent Exhibitions Landscapes of Exploration – contemporary British art from Antarctica This joint exhibition with the Scott Polar Institute (Cambridge University) brought together the work of ten visual artists, one musician and three writers, who undertook residencies in the Antarctic between 2001 and 2009 (British Antarctic Survey’s Artists and Writers in Residence Scheme, supported by Arts Council England.) The exhibition used image and sound to transform the Ruskin Gallery into this forbidding environment where temperatures rarely rise above freezing.

Null Object: Gustav Metzger thinks about nothing This new artwork by London Fieldworks (Bruce Gilchrist and Jo Joelson) was produced with the participation of Gustav Metzger, alumnus of Cambridge School of Art. A computer-brain interface was linked with industrial manufacturing technology, to produce a sculptural object in Portland stone, forming the centrepiece of the exhibition. 3-dimensional shape information, gathered from Metzger’s electroencephalograph (EEG) as he attempted to think about nothing, was translated into instructions for a manufacturing robot which then carved shapes from the interior of the block of stone, creating void space.

1449_CSA_Brochure_210x260_76PP_AW21.indd 18

22/06/2015 18:22

Student Awards Our students receive industry recognition and success in major national and international competitions. Here are a few recent highlights: International Award for Illustration Maisie Shearring, MA Children’s Book Illustration graduate 2015, has won the International Award for Illustration at the annual Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy, the largest and most prestigious children’s book event in the world, attracting over 3,000 entries from 70 countries. Maisie impressed the judges with her work Susan’s School Days: “We were unanimous in our selection due to this illustrator’s subtle sense of humour in the works on display, mixing nostalgia with a feel for the poetic. We feel that this young artist has huge potential to evolve and to develop an original voice within the current panorama of illustration.”

Woon Art Prize Ramona Zoladek, a BA (Hons) Fine Art student, won the biggest student art prize in the UK in 2014. Ramona was awarded a £20,000 bursary after claiming the Woon Art Prize, which is sponsored by Northumbria University law graduate Mr Wee Teng Woon. The combined £40,000 competition prize is the same as Britain’s biggest art award, the Turner Prize. Her winning work revolved around the idea of growth and ruin, and how man-made objects interact with nature. Ramona’s piece was composed of concrete and plaster planks from which living plants broke out and grew.

Society of British and International Design (SBID) Student Awards 2014 The SBID Awards invite the top 20% of final-year students from all UK based interior design courses to enter. Each entry is judged by a panel of highly regarded industry professionals and associated experts, with specific attention to innovation, sustainability and empathic design.

Sotirios Tseronis won the Hotel and Restaurant category. As well as an honorary SBID student membership, valid for one year, Sotirios will benefit from mentorship with award-winning interior architecture and design company MKV Design.

Macmillan Prize for Children’s Book Illustration Now in its 29th year, the 2014 prize attracted over 350 entries from students at universities and colleges across the UK. 2nd year BA (Hons) Illustration student, Bethan Woollvin, won first prize and a cheque for £1,000 for her bold interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood, while the runner-up, and winner of the Lara Jones Award for the best picture book for young children, was Matt Robertson (MA Children’s Book Illustration) for his work Blankets. Morag Hood (MA Children’s Book Illustration) shared the third prize for her work Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea. 19

Student Prizes Cambridge School of Art has four annual awards for our students: The Supanee Gazeley Fine Art Prize The £2,000 awarded for the best body of work displayed at the Degree Show 2014 by a final year BA (Hons) Fine Art student, donated by alumna Dr Supanee Gazeley, this year went to Ramona Zoladek, whose work was based on memories of a ruined building in her home city of Warsaw. The sculpture, which was constructed out of plaster, scattered with the green shoots of hundreds of chickpea seedlings, amazed the judges and visitors to the Degree Show 2014 alike. Ramona went on to win the coveted Woon Fine Art Prize at the Baltic Art Centre in Newcastle, in September 2014.

Searle Award for Creativity Ronald Searle, one of our most celebrated alumni, used drawing to record the world around him, to invent characters and situations in his imaginative work, and to develop visual ideas. This prize is awarded to the final year student whose submitted sketchbook most reflects these qualities. In 2015, the first prize of £500 and a signed Searle lithograph went to MA Children’s Book Illustration student, Maisie Shearring. Another Children’s Book Illustration student, Amanda Pike, took second place, while third went to Pete Wenman, of the MA Illustration and Book Arts. The undergraduate award was won by Sorcha Faulkner, BA (Hons) Illustration.

The Eaton Portrait Prize BA (Hons) Photography students enter portrait images to win prizes generously donated by former student Andy Eaton of Eaton Kaye.

Shortlisted entries also win the entry fee to the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery.

This year’s first prize of a MacBook Pro Notebook was won by Year 2 student Aleksandra Swiderska, who submitted a set of images depicting unemployed workers in her home city of Gdansk, Poland.

The Sustainability Art Prize The Sustainability Art Prize is an annual competition run by the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University. The competition is open to all students at Cambridge School of Art, the brief being to create a piece of work based on their own interpretation of the concept of ‘sustainability’ that reflects the aims of the Institute. Ian Wolter took the first prize of £500 in 2015 for a monumental scupture, which addresses the issue of climate change. The work challenges some of those who have argued that climate change is insignificant.

Recent Alumni Success Cambridge School of Art has a tradition of high profile and influential alumni dating back to the early 20th century in areas including graphic art, illustration and printmaking. More recently, alumni have been receiving recognition for work in the fields of computer games design, film and TV and creative effects with a host of awards including BAFTAs, Emmys and Oscars. These include Dan Hillier; Best Arts Vinyl 2014 for the debut album of Royal Blood (Best British Group, Brit Awards 2015) and Mark Coulier; Oscar and BAFTA winner 2014 for The Grand Budapest Hotel as Creative Director of make-up effects company Coulier Creatures.

Our new graduates are making waves too; winning international prizes and being selected for high profile exhibitions and publications.

56th Venice Biennale MA Fine Art graduate, Kavinash Thomoo, who graduated in 2014, has been selected as one of six artists to represent Mauritius for the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015. The Venice Biennale has for over a century been one of the most prestigious cultural events in the world. Established in 1895, the Biennale has an attendance today of over 370,000 visitors. Kavinash’s work is a video projection entitled …again and again. It references the cyclical nature of samsara – a Sanskrit term designating the unrelenting processes of creation, destruction, and regeneration as understood by metaphysical philosophies expounded by the Samkhya and Tantra-Shaktism schools of Hinduism.

Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014 Two 2013 MA Printmaking graduates, Mustafa Sidki and Jane Stobart, were selected for the prestigious Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014 from among 1,400 submissions, by a panel that included Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Enrido David and Goshka Macuga.

The exhibition toured the World Museum, Liverpool as part of the Liverpool Biennale, and the ICA, London. Previous exhibitors at the show have included Jake & Dinos Chapman, Tacita Dean, Mona Hatoum, Damien Hirst, David Hockney and Mike Nelson.

Guardian Weekend Magazine A series of photographs by BA (Hons) Photography graduate Ugne Henriko featured in the Guardian Weekend magazine in 2015. Ugne’s ‘Mother And Daughter’ series was originally produced for her Major Project on the course, and juxtaposes her own self-portrait images with those of her mother at the same age.

Research at Cambridge School of Art Academic staff at Cambridge School of Art are active in research – some theoretical, much of it practice-based. Staff publish their research through exhibitions, books, journal articles and conference papers. In the recent UK Research Excellence Framework, Art and Design was one of 12 subjects at Anglia Ruskin University classed as having research of ‘International’ standing, and some of the Art & Design research submitted was classed as ‘World-Leading’.

Research-active staff operate within research centres, or groups, which promote dialogue through seminars, lectures and conferences.

Cambridge School of Art’s research clusters include: • Centre for Children’s Book Studies (CCBS) • Fine Art Research Unit (FARU) • Design Research Group (TRG) • Documentary Research Group (DRG) • Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute (CoDE) These groups organise and contribute to conferences, exhibitions, screenings, articles and commissioned illustrations in international venues and publications. FARU offers regular artists’ talks, which are open to all students in the school, whilst the Centre for Children’s Book Studies organises an annual Festival of Illustration in Cambridge, in conjunction with Heffers’ Bookshop.

We are also engaged in a range of research projects, connecting staff and students with international networks of artists and designers. A recent Anglia Ruskin arts project, Visualise, brought artists, scientists and technologists together in a series of exciting events. It culminated in a major exhibition in the Ruskin Gallery on the theme of computer arts, entitled Poetry, Language, Code, which included multimedia fractal pieces by William Latham, together with work by artists such as Eduardo Kak and Gustav Metzger.
