Artists in Residence

Middlesex University

Middlesex University is expanding its successful Artists in Residence  
scheme in the Art and Design and Media departments.

The scheme will be open to artists in any of the disciplines covered  
by the curriculum in the departments. The areas include Fine Art,  
Drawing, Sculpture, Graphic Design, Photography, Fashion,  
Illustration, Printmaking, Printed and Constructed Textiles,  
Letterpress, Bookbinding, Interior Design, Ceramics, Glass, 3D Design,  
Jewellery, Film, Animation and Interactive Design.

The Artists in Residence would be expected to attend for two days a  
week. One day working on their own projects and making full use of our  
fantastic facilities to develop their practice, the second day working  
with the students in the studios or workshops and supporting their  
learning.

Our aim is to create an enthusiastic group of artists who contribute  
to the skills and knowledge base of our academic community, share the  
experience of their professional practice and bring another dimension  
to our lively campus.

The current group of Artists in Residence have made a valuable  
contribution to the student experience and produced some excellent  
work across a range of disciplines.

We have encouraged the artists to create a collaborative group which  
has resulted in them taking part in exhibitions on campus and staging  
their own successful exhibition off Brick Lane with our support.

The new residencies will last from appointment until July 2011.

The Artists in Residence will be based at our Cat Hill Campus in North  
London, close to Cockfosters and Oakwood stations on the Piccadilly  
Line.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Phil Healey  
on 0208-411-4684 or contact John Bradley at j.bradley at mdx.ac.uk for a  
full Job description and details on how to apply.
