Gourt Home::Gourt :: Slade School of Art
The Slade School of Fine Art is an art school based at University College, London (London University) in the UK.
The school traces its roots back to 1868 when Felix Slade decided to establish three Chairs in Fine Art, to be based at Oxford, Cambridge and London—though with only London offering studentships. Many of the most accomplished and influential British artists have since studied at the Slade, which operates two studios: one for undergraduate students, the other for postgraduates only. Lucian Freud, Reg Butler and Roger Fry are among the many distinguished past members of the teaching staff.
The Slade Centre for Electronic Media in Fine Art
The Slade Centre for Electronic Media in Fine Art (SCEMFA) opened in 1995 and has provided the opportunity to focus on research into Electronic Media and Fine Art, contributing to debate on a national and international level. In 1997 SCEMFA presented Collision, a public lecture series by artists, writers and curators working with interactivity, telematics and digital works, followed by Spontaneous Reaction, an Arts Council funded week-long seminar which took a critical look at interactivity with participants drawn from a variety of disciplines including psychology, architecture and computer science. Throughout 1998 SCEMFA collaborated with Channel to organise a monthly event called Cached which was held at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London. Funded by the Arts Council, this series investigated the conceptual and practical issues of making work for the Internet through a series of artists presentations.
