Guardian select work by Cass student among exhibition favourites News

Angela Blažanović’s, which piece reimagines the lost stories of discarded objects found along the River Thames, is part of Free Range 2019.

Date: 24 June 2019

A piece by Angela Blažanović, a Photography BA student at The Cass, has been named among the Guardian newspaper’s ‘favourites’ of the Free Range show 2019.

Now in its nineteenth year, the Free Range show at the Truman Brewery has established itself as one of the country’s leading exhibitions for cutting-edge and emerging student art. Angela’s course mates are also exhibiting at the show which opened on 21 June and runs until 1 July.

Angela described her piece, ‘Turquoise Pipe, Yellow Rope, Glass Bottle, Yellow Tulips and a Little Yellow Square II’, to the Guardian: “My ‘Fragments of a River’ series reimagines the lost narratives of discarded objects found along the river Thames. As the tidal river shifts in an endless cycle between a dangerous stream and calm sanctuary, it allows temporary access to the riverbed. Exposed within the silted landscape, one stumbles across objects which fell from hand to water and now form fragments of the river itself. Through sculptural arrangements the dead objects and the stories they carry within compose new life.

Free Range 2019 will culminate with the FR Awards 2020, where a panel of industry experts and professionals will judge participants each week to award the ‘Best in Show’.
