FINE ART DEGREE SHOW 2013 CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND DESIGN
The University of the Arts London has always boasted an impressive array of talent, and Central St Martins, a constituent of it, does not fall by the wayside. Tucked tidily behind Kings Cross Station, Central St Martins new building became a blank canvas for Show One, the first of two shows exhibiting the years work from various degree disciplines.

Including displays of work from Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, BA (Hons) Fine Art, MA’s in Art and Science, Fine Art, Photography and MRes Art courses in Exhibition Studies, Moving Image and Theory and Philosophy, the show exhibited an incredulous range. The Kings Cross campus building pregnant with the prospect of being adorned, successfully managed to cater for the demands of some of the impressive works on show. Displayed predominantly on the ground floor of the bustling metropolis building, even on its final day of exhibition, Show One boasted a healthy audience, and over its period of running, was grace by the presence of 16,500 people.
