Highlights from the Collection
The Collection Highlights exemplify the ethos that Anthony Emery envisaged upon founding the Pembroke JCR Art Collecion in 1947. Through its engagement with emerging British artists, and its democratic display of sculpture, watercolor and painting, the current exhibition in the Pembroke Art Gallery consciously avoids establishing a hierarchy within different forms of material, genre, and artist backgrounds. Furthermore, student participation has always been paramount in nurturing the collection, as the initial fund was put together by students, and the collection has since run under student administration. However, the most important act of student participation is in the form of viewing and interacting with the collection’s art objects. Like Schrodinger’s Cat, the works in this gallery require active dialogue to remain in existence – since arguably, art only exists in the mind of the viewer.
