Intervals, Barry Till Gallery Space, Morley Collage London

These spaces are negotiated through the exchange of practice, informing pedagogical approach and enriching the student experience. This exhibition showcases the ongoing art practice of tutors who deliver the fine art curriculum here at Morley College London.
