Paul Winstanley: Art School

English

By (author): Jon Thompson

Filled with photographs of unpopulated studios, Paul Winstanleys exploration of British art schools highlights their importance at a time when the art school systems existence is more fraught than ever.

For this series, Winstanley (b.1954) photographed undergraduate studio spaces in more than 50 art colleges across the United Kingdom over the summers of 2011 and 2012. These rough-and-ready, nearly neutral spaces are photographed as found; empty in the period between school years.

Collectively, the works highlight the abstraction of the interiors with their temporary white walls, paint stains, neutral floors and open spaces. Photographed in this manner, their sterile nature is juxtaposed with their intended purpose of fostering intense creativity for a future generation of artists.

Over 200 full-colour illustrations which combine images from various schools to form their own abstract space are accompanied by writings from two professors of fine art: a text by Jon Thompson and an interview with the artist by Maria Fusco.

To commemorate the publication, Winstanley created a limited-edition digital print from the Art School series. Each edition is hand-finished by the artist and contained within a custom-made slipcase containing a signed copy of the book.
