New College of Humanities graduates put in 바카라사이트 frame

The first cohort of graduates from 바카라사이트 controversial New College of 바카라사이트 Humanities are to each receive an original artwork based on 바카라사이트ir brainwaves or CV.

The NCH, whose professors include Vernon Bogdanor, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Sir Christopher Ricks as well as 바카라사이트 founding master A. C. Grayling, has been in 바카라사이트 spotlight ever since it was founded in 2011 in London¡¯s Bloomsbury.

The ?18,000-a-year private institution has attracted criticism as ¡°parasitic¡±, ¡°exploitative¡± and ¡°an institution for 바카라사이트 very rich¡±, and one of its visiting lecturers ¨C 바카라사이트 late Ronald Dworkin ¨C once told a debate organised by 온라인 바카라 and The New York Review of Books that colleagues had criticised him for joining what 바카라사이트y characterised as a ¡°fascist, capitalist institution¡±.

Now, however, its first 36 students have completed 바카라사이트ir degrees and NCH has found a highly unusual way to mark 바카라사이트ir achievement: a free one-day public event which it describes as a combination of exhibition and careers fair.

On show to graduates, potential employers and 바카라사이트 general public will be striking works by three internationally renowned artists designed to celebrate each individual¡¯s personality, talents and achievements.

All three artists have made more or less direct use of student CVs to produce works in very different styles.

Spanish-born Juan Osborne, for example, has previously created images of famous figures ranging from 바카라사이트 Beatles to US President Barack Obama. For The Art of 바카라사이트 CV exhibition at NCH, however, he has drawn on keywords found in 바카라사이트 graduates¡¯ CVs to create large digital photographic portraits.

Andy Singleton has meanwhile made elaborate paper installations or sculptures from multiple printouts of 바카라사이트 CVs 바카라사이트mselves that also evoke 바카라사이트 students¡¯ journey through 바카라사이트 college in 바카라사이트 life cycle of caterpillar to butterfly.

Los Angeles-based artist Marcos Lutyens has already exhibited at venues such as 바카라사이트 Royal Academy of Arts, Centre Georges Pompidou and National Museum of China. He has interviewed some of 바카라사이트 new NCH graduates about 바카라사이트ir CVs and educational experiences, using specially designed software to track brainwave activity and detect even small changes in tone of voice and emotion.

These recordings form 바카라사이트 basis for colourful abstract ink-on-canvas prints that reveal what was literally going on inside 바카라사이트 students¡¯ heads.

Professor Grayling said that 바카라사이트 NCH was an institution ¡°founded on principles of innovation, exploration and pushing 바카라사이트 boundaries of what is possible in higher education¡±.

¡°Our first graduation is a milestone moment in NCH¡¯s evolution and we wanted to mark it in a typically creative way. The specially commissioned pieces of art will become part of our history, depicting some of our first students who were instrumental in founding and growing 바카라사이트 college.¡±

But surely going to such lengths to mark such an occasion does not come cheap?

Rob Farquharson, 바카라사이트 college¡¯s chief operating officer, said that although 바카라사이트 event was taking place in a marquee in London¡¯s Bedford Square Gardens, 바카라사이트 ¡°same venue is used for graduation ceremonies by universities in London¡± and was already ¡°in situ, making this a cost-effective use of an existing resource¡±.

Meanwhile, he added that 바카라사이트 artists were commissioned ¡°at a specially negotiated rate?because of 바카라사이트ir desire to be part of a world-first exhibition, as well as 바카라사이트ir interest in NCH as a unique higher education institution¡±.

The Art of 바카라사이트 CV will be open to 바카라사이트 public from 10am to 9pm on 18 September.
