1st Year Workshop | 'Rendering Space' (Dec 2013)

c. Diana Zamjatkina

Any given space is measurable and limited, but the possibilities of expression within that space are immeasurable and limit-less. This is the foundational basis of our ‘Rendering Space’ workshop. We take any given space, small or large - a room, a street, a building - and we produce a variety of individual representations and expressions of it and from it. The workshop explores how students visually interact with their immediate & familiar environment and express that limited space within given time restraints. The workshop is developed for 12-20 students, each closely negotiating the same enclosed space of the school grounds.

1st Year Theme | 'A Sense of Place'

Edwina Noonan c.

This is a task allocated to Year One students at the end of the first term. Each student was asked to produce a series of images based on the assigned theme: ‘A Sense of Place’. The task had no set criteria and was open to students' interpretation of what the term or theme encapsulates. The process involved a lengthy discussion about how to conceptualize the theme, a few suggestions of visual approaches, artists and photographers to explore and some key ideas surrounding issues of place. Students had two weeks to prepare images for a group critique, where issues ranging from fundamental technical concerns to issues relating to the translation of idea, context and meaning are discussed. The complete selection of the work is then selected by a 'jury' of second year students, who make a choice of ten projects. 

Selected Works: Edwina Noonan, Olga Kuzmenko, Martin Raferty, Neil ORourke, Mandy Kavanagh, Aoife McDermott, Samantha Ryan, Helen Carter, Andrea Poszgai, Sandra Ryan

Recent Events at St Kevin's College of Further Education | Photography

Its been a busy start to 2013: In February, we hosted the CDVEC Public Speaking competition - open to all colleges under the VEC remit. A great success and a valuable experience to all involved. At the end of the term our 2nd years held their interim exhibition: 'In Process' - which displayed individuals ongoing projects and proposals for the upcoming Graduate Exhibition in May. Again The Exchange in Temple Bar will play host to our annual event. Further, in February, a selection of our 2nd Year students initiated the Dublin division of he international community project 'Inside Out' - a large scale participatory art project that transforms public spaces with artistic works. The selection of portraits were projected and displayed in the City Centre throughout the month of February. The environment of St Kevin's College, and many of our past students, were featured in the Gallery of Photography as part of the Irish Contemporary Award: Showcase. Our Tutor Martin Cregg was shortlisted for the award which was won by one of our visiting lecturers Richard Gilligan. 

Looking forward, we will be hosting the CDVEC Photography Competition - open to all PLC colleges in the Dublin area. We are taking submissions now. Contact College for details. We are also taking applications for our courses in Photography & Media for the 2013/14 terms. Interviews have already begun.

Student Work | Themes: 'Quiet' & 'Sense of Place'

c. Paulina Golebiewska

C. Christina Gismondi

This is a task allocated to students in December. Each student was asked to produce a series of inter-connecting images based on the assigned themes -  'Quiet' and  ‘Sense of Place’. Again, as with previous assignments, the task had no set criteria, was not graded, not directed to any great degree, and was open to the students interpretation of what the term or the theme encapsulates. Here is a short selection of the work made.
