Fiona Curran: Dis-Locating Reality: Towards a Fractured Topography of the Present.
Currently researching for a practice-related PhD. The subject is the effect of technology on concepts of natural and synthetic space in relation to landscape.
Leah Lovett: Playing Space: Performing the Spatial Politics of Invisible Theatre
My practice and thesis begin from an understanding of social structures as spatial and as performed.
Tim Long: Material thinking in Art: subject, object and the subjectile
My thesis examines work by Antonin Artaud, Henry Darger, Marcel Duchamp, and Pablo Picasso, with the intention of subjecting specific works by these artists to critical tests employing the idea proposed by Antonin Artaud's subjectile, that is a paradoxical fusion of both subject and object.
Eleanor Morgan: Seducing Spiders
I create videos, sculptures and drawings that explore physical and mythical entanglements between humans and animals.
Kai Syng Tan - Kaidie's 1000-Day Trans-Run 12.12.2009 - 09.09.2012
Kaidie runs to look for a/the Meaning of Life - but what a quixotic quest. For starters, 'run' refers not only to the sport and locomotion, but figures of speech including 'letting your imagination run wild' and 'being on the run'.
Elly Thomas: Play as Evolving Process in the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, Philip Guston and Tony Oursler
In this practice-related study I use a range of play theory to examine the creative processes behind the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, Philip Guston and Tony Oursler.

I work with video, photography and installation and am interested in the interface between the external world and the internal world of the imagination.

As a dominant Western visuality develops away from the system of linear perspective on which it was founded, and towards the digital and virtual technologies of cyberspace, the idea of somehow replicating 'natural vision', so long the basis of this visuality's authority, is forced into new territories.

Can photographs of pain mediate the space between patient and clinician to facilitate improved communication and rapport in facial pain consultations? Can an exploration of facial pain inform our understanding of portraiture and vice versa?
Kay Tabernacle
My research investigates concepts of imagination in Hannah Höch's independent and collaborative work. I ask where Höch locates her understanding of imagination within different conceptual frameworks, drawing on concepts of imagination from Bergson, Freud, Breton, Benjamin and Bachelard.
