    • The UCL Graduate School has announced the winners of this year's annual 'Research Images as Art / Art Images as Research' competition. 

    The joint winners of this year's competition are Matthew Shaw (UCL Bartlett School of Architecture) with his image Plan_Section: Bartlett Summer Show 2010 and Irene Aspalter (Cancer Research UK) with The Creation of Vessels.

    The competition was open to all graduate students and UCL staff and was a chance to submit and display research images with an aesthetic impact that have been generated as a result of UCL work.

    Winning submissions were then selected by a panel of judges from across UCL. This year's judging panel consisted of:

    • Dr Susan Collins (UCL Slade School of Fine Art; Chair)
    • Dr Joe Cain (UCL Science and Technology Studies)
    • Dr Penelope Haralambidou (UCL Bartlett School of Architecture)
    • Dr Julie Olszewski (UCL Cancer Institute)


    Dr Susan Collins, who chaired the judging panel, explained: "In making a selection, the judges tried to reflect the broadness of the submission whilst finding images that were not only strong aesthetically and compositionally, but also transformative in some way. Images which altered the way that we view things in the world."

    All entries to the competition will be exhibited in the North Cloisters until Friday 14 January 2011.
