2012

Jana Bercelova, 1st year undergraduate sculpture, has been selected for an UCL Institute of Making summer studentship with Susanne Kuechler and Melanie Jackson as supervisors.

The winner of the 2012 Catlin Art Prize is Julia Vogl, a 2011 graduate of the UCL Slade School of Fine Art. She is the sixth winner of the annual Catlin Art Prize, a competition showcasing the work of recent graduates of UK art schools. The award was in respect of her ‘social sculpture’ titled ‘Let's Hang Out’. The work invites visitors to create a communal area by selecting and affixing coloured carpet titles that colour-correspond with Julia's suggestions of various pastimes (such as ‘call Mum’, ‘tweet’, etc.). The work will evolve throughout the duration of the Catlin Art Prize exhibition while encouraging visitors to interact – and hang out. See www.artcatlin.com.
