We just want to say a massive thank you to our amazing web designers. The meeting to discuss the launch of the website and advertising campaign went swimmingly- so watch this space for the new face of EWX social media. Here are some examples of our designers’ work, read more on their websites.
Joe Joiner- ‘Sugar is Sweeter’
Dan Cottrell- ‘Circulation’
East Wing is in an inheritance. As the project is passed down through the Courtauld years, the artists and the thesis may change, but the legacy associated with the exhibition remains steadfast. The first collection was curated in 1991 by Joshua Compston and EWX is proud to uphold twenty years of dedication to emerging international artists, cutting edge curation and the hard work of the student committee who solely cultivate the exhibition.
To cement the artistic heritage embodied in the tenth anniversary of East Wing a permanent collection will now exist within the Courtauld, moving periodically down the West Wing staircase . Initially housing some of the best works from East Wing Nine, future committees, including ourselves, will add to the growing assemblage. To start us off will be pieces from the artists Gerry Stecca, Tierney Gearon and Roger Ballen.

Without sponsorship East Wing would not be possible. We want to say a huge thank you to our confirmed sponsors, Fox Printers who will be aiding us in our printing and publication needs and also to C’Art who will be helping with the transport and storage of art works.
The Finance department are currently working on the development of a link to which people can donate online, watch this space!
A big shout out to the creative minds of Chelsea College of Art grad students Dan Cottrell and Joe Joiner who recently embraced the task of branding East Wing 10. Both Cottrell and Joiner completed a BA in Graphic Design Communication and we are confident their contemporary take on design will bring a fresh edge to the public face of the project.
As with all projects that amass such an abundance of minds, talents and areas of issue, coming up with a singular title to define East Wing 10 was no meager task. Deliberation followed discussion and dispute, but finally our efforts have been denominated under the heading ‘Material Matters’. Like the pun, we hope the title encourages a closer and more inquisitive look beneath the surface, a response we believe will also be stimulated at the exhibition itself.
