END OF SHOW PARTY: Headfunk Presents Transmission Live - Saturday 16 March 8 – 11pm booking required, click here for more info.
Transmission is an exciting 13 week cross-disciplinary collaborative project by recent graduates from Southampton Solent University’s School of Art and Design.
The exhibition occupies three gallery spaces at Quay Arts – The West Gallery, Rope Store Gallery and Learning Curve Gallery, combining the work of over 30 selected alumni from across several SSU courses including Fine Art, Photography, Illustration, Graphic Design, as well as Product Design, Animation and Gaming.
The exhibition will evolve throughout its duration; three shows will eventually unfold within the gallery spaces over the two and a half month period. The first exhibition, co-curated by Quay Arts’ Exhibitions Organiser, Georgia Newman and SSU Senior Lecturer in Photography & Visual Arts, Stephen Brigdale, is formed of works discussing the theme ‘Staging Place’. The exhibition will then be developed, re-hung and re-curated by current students from SSU School of Art & Design and students from Isle of Wight colleges and schools, working alongside a guest curator in January - Tim Johnson and again February - Kate Maple. New works will appear, some works may stay and some will be removed to re-interpret the exhibition with a new theme in mind.
Transmission #1 Staging Place 14/12/12 – 23/01/13
Transmission #2 Manufacture 24/01/13 – 12/02/13

Also, look out for our Takeaways Takeover in the Café, where current students and graduates will soon be selling 2D works, limited edition prints, photographs, books, postcards and other works, which will be ready for you to purchase and take away on the same day.
We will also be holding an end of show D/VJ party by Headfunk, this also celebrates the opening of the IOW College Co-curation response show in the Rope Store Gallery on Sat 16 March.
