The Abingdon & Witney Art Foundation course began their end of year show this evening at the Abingdon College. Called EXIT, the exhibition will be open from Monday 18th – Friday 22nd June 10am – 5pm.

A suit called ‘queer’ looked at gender and dressing. Behind it somebody had done the ultimate in naval gazing.

There was a video of the material on these dresses being burned to produce this effect, and another video of a student writing onto canvasses in the confines of a bus shelter to produce the rhythmic scrawls seen behind.

There were some lovely images that one student made to illustrate a poem .

There was also a dark area where you could walk from one art film to another, and some more architectural works.

There is a lot to see, and each work has a small card to say what the artist was trying to achieve. It is interesting to compare the concept and the art work, and is well worth a visit.
