They use industry standard equipment  both in the  studio and on location. They are a small unit and are often in need of help with crewing their production work.  They are keen to provide students with long and short -term work experience.

They need enthusiastic and reliable people to fulfil a variety of roles. If you have some experience and knowledge it helps but it is not essential as they will also provide some on the job training. They need people who work well in a team. In particular they can provide roles for runners, camera assistants, sound assistants, floor managers, vision-mixers, production assistants, editing assistants and graphics assistants. You will be mentored and work as part of a professional team.

Work for this show at White Elephant has an underpinning of a “foreign” and as yet unpublished binary code system created by Peter. The “code” combines Latin characters with Japanese katakana phonemes. The number three and triptychs prove to be a strong base for many of Peter’s artefacts.

Barry’s ‘Liberty of Appearing’ work ‘endeavours to make us aware of the value of ordinary people’. In this exhibition he pieces together images of people at work or generally going about their daily life. His images echoes  his statement ‘You don’t have to look too far to see that the world is run by two factions of privileged people’ which answers his research question’Have you ever wondered why poor people are poor?’.

Running from 10th May until 7th June 2013

This spring shoppers in Southsea will see work by second year students in the windows of 16 businesses in order to bring contemporary art to a wider community audience.

The ‘Albert Road Trail’ was the idea of students who wanted to exhibit their work in a community setting and forge links with local businesses.  Heather Dubois, whose work deals with the personal challenges which often surround human emotions says “I feel that it is important to have as wide and varied audience as possible, as everyone is at sometime or another affected by emotional issues.”

There are 17 artists taking part, who are currently producing a wide variety of work ranging from painting and sculpture to photography and installation.  The project will allow them to show it in a diverse range of venues including the Kings Theatre and Parmiter’s antique shop.  Traders in Albert Road have been keen to build up an inclusive and creative vibe and it is hoped that the Albert Road Trail can benefit from the success and popularity of events like Love Albert Road Day and Southsea Fest.

Alain LeRay, owner of hairdressers LeRays, said: “When the university students approached me, I was very keen. It’s a really good thing for Albert Road and I cannot wait.”  Rick Christie, owner of Head Hairdressing for Men, echoed these sentiments by saying: “The work is going to look superb and it is great to think people will be coming to Albert Road to look at the art.”

Curatorial advisor, Denise Callender said “Although this is a group exhibition, I am very much looking forward to seeing how each piece works in a shop window; it will be as though each artist is having a mini solo show but connecting to a larger supportive network of artists and traders”.

The Albert Road Trail is an ideal concept in a community setting whilst forging links with its local businesses.  This event will be an opportunity to meet the artists involved and join in to celebrate the event.

The exhibition will run from Monday 13^th May to  Sunday 19th May 2013, with a celebration private view on Wednesday 15^th May that will begin at The Loft (above the King’s pub) from 6pm, with regular guided tours on which you can find out more about each exhibit from some of the artists.  Tours will finish at the Wine Vaults where the celebration event culminates with an evening of entertainment, a raffle with fantastic prizes and the chance to socialise over a tipple and a bite to eat.

For updates, further information and enquiries follow Albert Road Trail

An exhibition guide which includes a map of the trail will be available at the Private View.  A trail map is also available on the Facebook Page below.

He is a passionate advocate of the development of typographic study within graphic design and is currently working towards a PhD at Central Saint Martins, London, researching contemporary processes of text typeface design. He has been invited to talk at conferences internationally and his work has also been published and exhibited internationally.

Basic Typography 03: Understanding Type
‘Whether you specialize in typography as a subject in itself or use type within your graphic or communication designs, understanding more about what type is and how it works will inform your practice and improve your work.

If you want to know more about the difference between Bodoni and Bembo; why Arial is not the same as Helvetica and what alternatives to consider; what types to respect and what types to avoid, then you will discover the answers here. This book is about looking closer at what most take for granted. Once hooked, you will never see type in the same way again.

Review

The design philosophy is clearly visible. AVA books are exactly the type of texts that students will respond to.” – Alan Meades, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
