POSTGRADUATE DEGREE SHOW 2009
Saturday 15 – Sunday 30 August 2009
Edinburgh College of Art, Evolution House, West Port

Postgraduate Degree Show 2009 will feature the work of 32 MA students graduating from the newly aligned School of Design, which now incorporates Design and Applied Arts, Fashion and Textiles, and Visual Communication specialisms.

The exhibition will also feature the work of two students graduating from ‘Art, Space and Nature’ – a unique postgraduate programme only available at Edinburgh College of Art, which examines the inter-relationships between various art and architecture specialisms.

Postgraduate Degree Show 2009 presents the final work of postgraduates working in Interior Design, Product, Fashion, Photography, Animation, Jewellery, Graphic Design, Illustration and Film Directing. In addition to the exhibition of work at the College, a selection of the Masters films will be screened at a special event at the Filmhouse on Thursday 27 August, starting at 8.30pm.

Reflecting the now inherent internationalism of Edinburgh College of Art, the students from across Europe, from Lebanon, Taiwan, China, New Zealand and India have worked intensely for one year towards this exhibition. With each student taking a unique approach in their research and their practice, the Postgraduate Degree Show is a truly international group exhibition in outlook and intent.

The exhibition is presented over four floors of the Evolution House building and includes cinema rooms screening showreel compilations of short films by the students graduating in Film.

Film screenings will take place on the 3rd Floor of Evolution House.
