Session: Teaching against the Tide – Engaging First Year Fine Art Students in ‘Not Knowing’

Not Knowing Me Not Knowing You: Welcome to Fine Art at Kingston.

Adam Gillam (b.1970) works across painting, photography, and sculpture. He creates delicate structures, images and compositions that have an impromptu, ad-hoc and restless quality, akin to a makeshift moment given form.  Scraps of materials, studio detritus, images, drawings and collected ephemera are assembled in an intuitive and bricolage fashion.  Adam has shown in numerous galleries and institutions including Camden Arts Centre, London, The Wilson, Cheltenham, Leeds City Art Gallery and FKA Witte de With, Rotterdam, and is currently Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Kingston School of Art, London.
