Girton’s fifth Artist in Residence, Luke Burton, will present his exhibition DEGREE. It is an exhibition of painting and vitreous enamels and it explores different ideas of scale in relation to painting, architecture and the human body. This examination of scale in the context of our own environments is, appropriately, spread out across the College, inviting the viewer to explore the buildings and the grounds which add perspective to the exhibits. Luke will be in attendance to offer insights into the thinking behind an exhibition, his approach to his practice in general and how his time at Girton elicited this artistic response.
Guests are invited to collect an exhibition booklet and self-guided tour map from the Stanley Library from 15.00, and at 16.15 tea and cake will be served here.
