“MINE: that or those belonging to me; the possessive of I”.

This word, and the title of the exhibition, epitomizes the individuality and diversity of these students’ works. Each has established their own art making voice, their own uniqueness of thinking and image making. The exhibition highlights the complexity of the unique voice in today’s art world by showing how these artists think about and produce their work. From the painted surface and the hand made, to the digital and the readymade, from the self to the social and political, the students in “Mine” offer compelling new voices to the world of art, and to the world at large.
