he United Kingdom is acknowledged as world leader in research in design
and art practice. The fourth symposium in the successful Matrix series
is to be held 5-7 July 1999 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and
Design, London. It will examine the position of research in design and
art practice at the millennium with keynote speakers on major themes
affecting these disciplines and bringing together examples of
successfully completed research degrees.
In the UK a 'critical mass' of research degrees has been achieved and
the symposium has parallel strands on research in design, art (both
including practice-based), cross-disciplinary art and disign, and theory
and history. Sessions are to be chaired by experienced supervisors with
a total of thirty presentations that will later be published as a
'handbook of models for research degrees.'
The fee for the three day symposium is around £250., and £100 for
students and those giving papers. Tea and coffee are included,
meals and accomodation are not. There will be a reception at the
exhibition opening on the first day.
As with earlier symposia in the Matrix series, overall direction is
shared through an advisory panel representing significant research
groupings from across the UK including Carole Gray of Gray's School of
Art, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen and Martin Woolley, Goldsmiths
College, University of London. Organization is under the direction of
Stuart Evans and Malcolm LeGrise at Central Saint Martins.
The deadline for presentation proposals is Friday 23, April and should
not be longer than 2 sides of A4. Proposals should be sent to:
