TATE EXCHANGE: SALE
Art programme students returned to Tate Modern for their annual residency at Tate Exchange. This year they created their very own independent, economic state ­– where visitors could make and spend billions!

The fourth year that staff and students have taken over Tate, SALE was a week-long experiment, set out to consider the complexities and disparities of the art market by staging more than 300 ‘closing down sales’.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY PRESENTS PROPOSALS
Staff and students from Central Saint Martins and across UAL came together at the beginning of this term for the second Climate Emergency Assembly. As a community, we debated and developed how change might happen within the institution. Following the first Assembly, groups were set up with specific interests – namely Curriculum, Carbon Neutral, Zero Waste, Procurement and Divestment.

The aim of the second Assembly was for those groups to present proposals with details of the required skills, budget and decision-making to turn them into reality. The proposals were then fed back on by the assembly in order to maximise their impact before being submitted to the University’s senior management.
