The real stand will be bigger than this. Promise.

Chelsea and the other five University of the Arts London colleges get on the road again this month as we’ll be exhibiting at the annual UCAS Design Your Future fairs in London and Manchester.

If you have not been able to book an Open Day with Chelsea this year, it is another great way to meet the team and get your questions answered. It is also the best way to chat to representatives from each of the six colleges as we’ll all be there.

The dates for this year’s events are:

London
ExCel Centre 17/18 November public opening times: 10am – 3.30pm

Manchester
G-Mex Complex 30 Nov – 1 Dec 2009 public opening times: 10am – 3.30pm.

FIELD EVENT
This project explores London as a vast FIELD of spaces and events of immense shifting complexity.  As soon as one gains some understanding of this field, it shifts before our very eyes.  In order to understand this complexity, we need to shift our thinking. 
We need to think like scientists, poets, geologists and archaeologists, before starting to re-think our processes as designers.

The exhibition is conceived as a multi-media EVENT showing Images, Text, Video and Physical Constructions, all related and indexed to specific areas in the FIELD. 
The project featured a Word & Image collaboration between iSD students and poetry students from Royal Holloway-University of London Department of English Literature.
