Sequel – An artistic collaboration between the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Museums & Collections

Abstract

Students of the UCL Slade School of Fine Art made new work in response to old works in the UCL Art Collections for on-line and physical exhibition in the first half of 2009. This was the first collaboration of this sort and has already led to further, similar projects. The project provided a fantastic opportunity for students to get hands-on with a remarkable collection of old masters and modern treasures as well as being a rare and valuable experience for their futures as professional artists. At very little expense this collaboration had a large impact providing improved awareness of the Art Collections and UCL Museums and Collections more widely.
