I want to talk about the power of failure. We are all failures and proud to be failures. Some have been minor, correctable, adjustable – a spill of paint on white canvas – others unmitigated disasters – a wiped clean hard-drive. Your head is in your hands, you're hungover, 4 dodgy canteen coffees down and you know you've got 48 hours to pull together something that your grandma will tell all her friends about. And then someone will come up to you and say “oh you'll be fine.” You won't be. You're screwed. Its in these moments that I start to think about Kate Winslet. Beautiful, successful, accomplished in her own right with a string of well made films. And then she stood. On the front of a boat. With Celine wailing and the wind billowing through her hair and making it a bit salty and frizzy. And I think about that iceberg and how little Kate really knows. How little she's really lived and whether she ever knew real love. But Kate survived. Failure is my iceberg. It scares me less the more I repeatedly plough into it with or without DiCaprio. But like Kate I'll live. It's a great privilege for us to be able to fail as often as we have. And where better to fail than Chelsea. It's a place where failure is celebrated - only through making mistakes can we learn, progress and further our work. But I want to thank those who have watched us and helped us fail and peeled us off the studio floors when we've had our meltdowns. To the technicians whose knowledge and dedication has put us back on course, averting chaotic collisions. To the tutor's whose tireless drive and direction has flung the preverbal lifeline, not always a lifeboat, sometimes just some swimming instructions. And finally to the parents, friends and families who've supported us emotionally and sometimes financially to achieve such depths of failure. You have all been a part of the extraordinary achievements that you have seen graduate today and we owe you a huge debt of thanks. Where we all go from here is varied and, in some cases uncertain. But if we're lucky we will continue to fail, spectacularly, excitingly and creatively. @millie.gray_ @chelseaual @unioftheartslondon

#Repost @p3exp ・・・ Listen ‼️ The time has finally come for me to make one of these long paragraph tings. Listen, before I get onto talks about my family and perseverance and all that good stuff deya. Lemme commend my G of G’s @blackinkexp . As rinsed as it might sound, we literally had people tell us to our faces that ‘This course isn’t for you’, and we stood our ground and said nah b, I’m hungry for more and look at us. At the beginning of second year we sat down and realised that at UAL Chelsea, it was just the two of us (young&black) men and we had to pull our thumbs out of our asses and get the accolades we deserved even if we had to drag one another into lectures. On some deeper stuff, there haven’t been too many moments in this life so far for me to sit back and understand that I’ve actually done good. Me and my G have reached that first milestone in life and I’m sure for those that know me that there’s plenty more in the locker. Mans gonna have to give a shout out to my Mum and Dad because they instilled that REAL drive and determination in me to go forth and be the head and never the tails in all my endeavours. Before I even sound like a snake, shout out to Peter and @referencebank in second year for taking the time to actually understand me as a human being and push me to do better at a point where I was ready to give up on the art world and this whole industry, you guys don’t know the impact you’ve had on my life! Kmt, before I start to waffle now. Lemme just say, more life and more success. If you’re in first or second year and you’re bout to say fuck it all, hold on just one more day my g, trust me it’s all worth it. So onwards and upwards my people, mans got my seatbelt locked in tight for the bumpy ride. 2:1 BOYYYYYYYY! #youngblackandeducated ... @chelseaual

@sixtytwoways last day tomorrow or pop down now!#Repost @mollyburdett ・・・ My film ‘love birds’ is showing @sixtytwoways at Chelsea college of arts in the triangle space - if you’re around come and have a look! Love Birds is a short documentary studying one of the last working class pigeon racing communities in London and exploring the problems that the sport and community face today. The film positions the sport as a counterpoint to the modern world we live in, showing the importance of communities and connecting people to one another. Thank you so much to everyone who made this film possible - a huge thanks to @milesridgway @lenalrg @bachelseagraphics #bromley #documentary #film #pigeonracing #short #cinematography — watch here! https://vimeo.com/275116023

See more work by @alicepenner_ at @sixtytwoways today and tomorrow.. — Hemispatial neglect is a condition altering a person’s understanding of space, preventing them from receiving any stimulus one side of the body, whether it be sight, sound or smell. It is a syndrome following 30-50% of strokes, most frequently of the right side of the brain. When this is the case, victims fail to be aware of objects or people to their left. Although being common, the condition remains completely unheard of. — One of the things spatial neglect victims struggle with is being able to tell the time, both because they aren’t able to see part of the clock face and because brain damage limits their ability to estimate the passing of time. It seems absurd to me that, considering how common the condition is, very little attention has been given to it in terms of design. I decided that a simple new clock design would be a good place to start. — “One day, he told me that he always lost things and that they probably went “toward the left” or were “on the left side” but he literally had no idea where the “left” was.” Kimberly Hreha “One time he walked into the lady’s room because he only read ‘MEN’ on the sign saying ‘WOMEN’. It was a bit embarrassing.” Peii Chen
