Abstract
FACP Archive Research
Fine Art Critical Practice, one of the four fine art degree courses at University of Brighton emerged as a studio area at Brighton School of Art in 1971. It is still running today. Research to date suggests it is the first and longest running experimental fine art course to be set up in the UK as a result of the Coldstream reforms. As such, the history of FACP charts an important period in contemporary art and contemporary art education.
A series of events, initiated by Naomi Salaman, is investigating the history of the course through conversations, reunions and the sharing of documentation, also intended to develop a course archive. With an institutional home at the University of Brighton Design Archives, the FACP archive will continue to operate as a community archive involving current FACP students and staff.
We are keen to find out what documentation exists out there, in paper or digital formats: course outlines, lectures schedules, session hand outs, students notes, as well as staff and student out puts such as exhibition catalogues, ephemera or photographs. So please do get in touch.
