The Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design is an intensive studio-based taught course in visual art practice. It challenges students to re-evaluate their work and explore a wide variety of materials, methodologies and approaches.
This unique phenomenon on the Saharan shores represents both a hazard to shipping and an ecological threat. Also the sea becomes a space of ‘decline' and an inactive landscape where lifeless ships and human bodies can be found rejected by the sea. 
Acclaimed international artist Zineb Sedira is also showing new photographic and light box works to accompany Floating Coffins at Rivington Place.
The installation is presented on a complex arrangement of 14 screens with layered sound compiled by Mikhail Karikis. The work lingers with surreal ease on figures removing scrap, birds arriving, and the extraordinary landscape where desert, sea and man's struggle to survive, all combine.

"The movie is about transactions. It sounds cold or clinical to say this, but I think that's what life is. Life is just a series of transactions. We all want something, whether it's emotional or monetary. Even if you're someone who says, 'I want to sit here and just be left alone.' You are going to have to negotiate on some level just to achieve that."
Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth present documentation of their performances and interventions. The artists often use light as a medium and a subject, working with projected video and lighting apparatus to produce illusionistic or theatrical results.
Simon Faithfull’s ideas can be described as an ongoing investigation into the incomprehensible scale of the earth as an object. Faithfull will exhibit an early video piece, ‘Going Nowhere’ 1996, a pivotal work which prefigures camera experiments such as '30Km' 2003 or interventions such as 'Shy Fountain’ - a fountain that only exists when no-one is there'

Phoenix Brighton hosts visits to the studios of six Phoenix artists. These artist-led tours will introduce visitors to nationally and internationally acclaimed artists who work in the city, but rarely exhibit here. The tours provide a wonderful opportunity for informal discussion with the artists.
The final element links HOUSE and the Artists Open Houses festival. Selectors’ Choice, upstairs at The Regency Town House, showcases work by artists exhibiting in the Open Houses. The exhibition mixes accomplished, dynamic and thought provoking work in a stunning gallery space.
HOUSE brings a rich mix of diverse and innovative new work to the Brighton festival season. It might lead you to you think again about the simple domestic space.
Brilliant Noise from Semiconductor on Vimeo.
Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files, made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun's finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise. This grainy black and white quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected as single snapshots containing additional information, by satellites orbiting the Earth. They are then reorganised into their spectral groups to create time-lapse sequences. The soundtrack highlights the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating areas of intensity within the image brightness into layers of audio manipulation and radio frequencies.
