Year Book Developed
1514
This publication contains references to the work and ideas of the eighteen graduating students from the B.A (Hons) Art & Design (Interdisciplinary) course. This range of work typically reflects the diverse and eclectic nature of the course. Within this range we have those who operate as individual designer-makers, others who incorporate curation, writing and the promotion of art discourse alongside visual art practice. Then there are others who traverse fluid boundaries between collaborative and socially engaged practices, working within and across communities and cultural institutions.
Throughout their experience on the course they have been engaged in curating and exhibiting outside of (and within) the institution. Varying examples of this are evident in this publication; GIDE: The Group for International Design Education, Magdeburg, Germany 2011, PSL, Leeds and The International Artists’ Book Fair, 2009 – 2011.
This year there is also a small section profiling some of our alumni. Each year we invite ex-graduates back to talk about their experiences since graduating. This year it was with pleasure and pride that alumni from the past three years returned with stories of diverse and interesting art projects, internships, employment, post-graduate study and great enthusiasm for life after graduation. This provided a great sense of the potential for possible independent creative practice and thriving in the current economic climate.
This year’s graduating students demonstrate thoughtful approaches, independence of mind and enterprise. Many have prepared themselves well by establishing a practice and network of fellow artists / designers / curators to ensure that they have a lively and challenging future. We wish them well in their ongoing projects, careers and study.

Houston, We Have An Exhibition: The Itty Bitty Planetarium Itty Bitty Art Committee - Sophie Ashcroft and Beverly CottrellTest Space Leeds at 42 New Briggate, June 2010.www.ittybittyartcommittee.blogspot.com creativeboom.co.uk
Sally PaddockThe Guardian Blog
The Itty Bitty Committee Planetarium is our own playful concept of a solar system in a galaxy far, far away , inspired by heaps of Sci-Fi movies, books and games. It is a light-hearted and personal version, compared to the seriousness of the reality space. However, we have looked at many hubble telescope images which inspired us with the colours found in space, but took it a step further by experimenting with vivid colours, textures... creating imaginative gas giants to planets containing ‘life’. It is kitsch, bold and out of this world... it is our planetarium on an itty bitty scale!
