听Twelve artists trace connections through 麻豆传媒视频网站's art collections.听
For the fourth annual Slade collaboration, 12 Slade artists were invited to the 麻豆传媒视频网站 Art Museum, where they delved deep into cupboards to discover a number of hidden treasures: a rare portrait print by William Blake of the physiognomist Johann Caspar Lavater, an early chalk drawing of a lion, a hand-coloured Japanese woodblock print of a flying bat.听
In the form of painting, drawing, video and sound art, the Slade students responded to the exhibition title of Vincula, the plural of 鈥榲inculum鈥� 鈥� 鈥榓 horizontal line over a group of terms to show that they have a common relation鈥� (Oxford Dictionary). Recurring themes and motifs included portraiture, the limitations of language and the uncanny.听
