About
How can performance transform a historic collection from a repository of the past into a platform for contemporary dialogue?
Working independently and collaboratively, students from Central Saint Martins BA Fine Art course present site-specific performance artworks, offering fresh viewpoints and alternative interpretations of the paintings in our collection.
By asking the questions, 'What belongs in the National Gallery?' and 'Who gets to decide?', their immersive performances create moments of connection. These moments reframe the Gallery in ways that resonate with a contemporary audience, offering fresh viewpoints and alternative interpretations of the paintings and space.
Central Saint Martins
Central Saint Martins is an arts and design college bringing together a diverse range of creative practices under one roof, based in London. At CSM, creativity is being regenerated by rethinking what an art and design college should focus on and how this might work. Across art, design and performance, students and staff of Central Saint Martins create and practise ideas, materials and actions for a better future in a more-than-human world.
