A Hyperkit Outing

In 2007, conversations with Tim Balaam of Hyperkit led to ‘a Hyperkit Outing’ an exhibition in the Camberwell Space. Here is what Hyperkit say about the show....

‘We had an exhibition in the foyer space at Camberwell College of Arts, 1–26 October 2007. The exhibition was intended to be a physical representation of our website. We wanted to show how our observations, fascinations and self-initiated projects filter into our commissioned work. The starting point was a collection of photographic images of found compositions, documented whilst on various trips around the country and abroad. These images were projected in the space and elements taken from the images were reconstructed as furniture for display within the space. For another part of the exhibition, we deconstructed past projects, pulling out the geometric elements of the work for display on the gallery walls. A display case (one of the constructed items) housed a selection of printed material.’

Industry Consultation

Regular consultation with industry professionals has become a distinctive feature of the course. Camberwell’s location and the professional network of the tutors on the FdA has enabled input from some of the key figures in the contemporary communications industry. As a result designers like Matt Wade, Jon Jeffrey, Jon Hewitt, Roberto D’Andria, Russell Holmes, Sean Murphy and Tim Balaam have all made an extremely important contribution to the development of the course.
