The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery is proud to present Immediate Future, featuring works by the recipients of the 2009 Murphy and Cadogan Fellowships in the Fine Arts. This exhibition provides a focused glimpse at what is being produced by promising artists within regional graduate programs. This exhibition presents an opportunity for these artists to share what they have been developing in their studios with a wider audience.

The Murphy and Cadogan Fellowships in the Fine Arts are annual awards sponsored by The San Francisco Foundation to assist art students in funding their final year of graduate studies. In partnership with the Foundation, the Arts Commission Gallery is committed to supporting works by outstanding Bay Area art students through the annual fellowship exhibition. The jurors for this years awards were Betti-Sue Hertz, Ellen Oh, Isis Rodriguez and Meg Shiffler.

Located in the heart of San Franciscos Civic Center, the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery makes contemporary art accessible to broad audiences through curated exhibitions that both reflect our regional diversity and position Bay Area visual art production within an international contemporary art landscape. By commissioning new works, collaborating with arts and community organizations and supporting artists projects, the SFAC Gallerys programs provide new and challenging opportunities for contemporary art to engage with a civic dialogue.

On Friday the 15th of November 2003, students of Hull’s Fine Art course (University of Lincoln!?!) staged a surprise walk out and media assault on the Universities management. BBC Look North were present to report the protest.

The management, here represented by Vincent Shacklock (Hatchet Henchman No2, Hatchet Man No 1, David Chiddick was not present. It is worth noting that this crew of corporate scoundrels had been employed to slash away the chaff at De Montfort previously) had no idea that a band had begun playing, banners had been hastily erected and the BBC were all outside waiting for the students to make their grievances known and to leave the meeting.

The meeting had been called by the management to ‘explain’ to the students why their course was being slashed in both budget and staff so dramatically.

The real story, as the students recognised at the time, was that the University of Lincoln was running its operations in Hull into the ground, selling off its real estate, and ploughing the proceeds into extensive building works and expansion of its Headquarters in Lincoln.

In the film you can see corporate puppets Jane Bingham and Vincent Shacklock attempting to prevent a young student from filming the proceedings. Other Cameras had already been switched off due to their protestations. They were being very careful not to let any of their empty promises leave the building in any form of documentation, that they could later be held to account by.

The protest ultimately failed as less than two years later Hull’s Fine Art degree course no longer existed.
However in an effort to repair the damage done by the students guerilla tactics, the management did have to fork out a small fortune in a poster campaign swearing its allegiance to Hull.

Hull’s Fine Art course represented one of the last in the country to resist modularisation, and encourage free experimentation from its students across disciplines etc. Its passing has had a notable negative effect on Hull’s cultural life, and has driven its most interesting culture underground.
