6 December — 10 December 2010

For the four day retreat Ways and Means, artists were invited to be both teachers and students, sharing knowledge and exploring skills with peers and guest speakers through practice and collective thinking.

Time, materials and processes were stripped back to consider approaches to art practice using the immediate environment, shared knowledge and a light touch.

The participants were: Benjamin Brett, Savinder Bual Statement, Lucia Farinati, Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau, Toby Huddlestone, Bob Levene, Jonathan O’Dwyer, Colin Perry, Josephine Reichert, Claire Louise Staunton

The retreat was curated by first year college based RCA Curating students Laura Smith, Egle Kulbokaite, Laura Clarke, Mette Kjaergaard Praest, Elizabeth Stanton, Katie Guggenheim, Daniela Berger, Lily Hall and Sabel Gavaldon. The invited speakers were: Bryony Gillard (artist), Neal White (artist), Ruth Beale (artist), Sepake Angiama (curator) and Andreas Lang (artist).
