Art News | Money Talks

Suzanne Moore reports on the “increasing marketization of education” within the arts. With further cuts to foundation courses, an arts education is becoming increasingly unaffordable for many students in the UK. This has provoked a month long occupation of the reception at Central Saint Martins by 80 students, 15 of whom have been recently served an injunction by the organisation. Moore highlights the “false dichotomy between science and art has been set up,” particularly by the current government who see Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects as more financially viable and therefore are promoting them to the detriment of the arts.

Exhibition | Tamas Dezso: Notes for an Epilogue

“Decaying factories, boys dressed as dancing bears and flooded villages where only the church steeple remains,” these are just some of the evocative images that feature in photographer Tamas Dezso’s upcoming exhibition Notes for an Epilogue. Captured in both Romania and his native Hungary, Dezso presents us with figures marginalised by society in countries ravaged by Soviet policies. Exhibited at the London Photographers’ Gallery, from 17 April.

Art News | Reviving Giacometti’s Legacy

The 25-square-meter studio of Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti will be recreated next year exactly as he left it. The reconstruction will constitute part of the new Institut Giacometti, a research centre and exhibition space set up by the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti that will open in the same Parisian district as the original workspace. The organisation has not announced the news publicly and will release further details about the project later in the year.
