OverviewReviews
Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher
at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s.
From
the long list of Peter Kardia's ex-students 25 well-known artists
have been invited to participate in an exhibition at the P3 gallery (www.p3exhibitions.com) in March 2010, as a sort of potted
retrospective of both their work and Peter's teaching. They are asked
to show a piece of work from their student or graduation days, as well
as a current piece, collectively providing a body of work that will
show the range of British sculpture from the last 30 years. The book
will act as a catalogue for the exhibition, but is also intended to
work as a stand-alone production and extends a little further to
include approx. 4 images per artist, including one from both degree
show and current times.
About the Author(s)
Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s, and his essay on how we should be approaching art and education will be central to the book. Hester Wesley has researched and written on Peter's influence on art education and his teaching at Saint Martins and the Royal College, placing it into wider context of art education generally. The last essay will be by Malcolm Le Grice (art historian) on the influence of the art teacher and art schools in history on the artist. The introduction is by Roderick Coyne who is an artist and who also taught at Saint Martins for 10 years.
