Student survey

We have appointed an artist, Adam Bridgland, to work with you to develop some ideas for the public art to be displayed by the new building. Please visit www.adambridgland.co.uk to find out more about Adam and his work.

To get the ball rolling as quickly as possible, Adam has set up a quick survey for you to help him understand more about you at Futures. If you can complete the survey as soon as possible, it would be very helpful to know your views.

Futures appoint Adam Bridgland

ADAM BRIDGLAND B. 1979, Leicester in England
http://www.adambridgland.co.uk/

Described as ‘your favourite leisure time artist’, Adam embraces the everyday object finding inspiration from the colouring book image, travel guidebooks, and scout camping paraphernalia. Kitsch and humorous, yet equally poignant, Adam’s work rejoices in the mundane and is an investigation of the notion that holiday-making is just another ordinary everyday activity and that the holiday is essentially a fantasy that rarely lives up to our expectations.



Since graduating from his Masters in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in 2006, Adam has lived and worked as an artist in London. He has exhibited widely in the UK, Europe, Asia and America. The British Museum, the V&A, UBS and Debbie Harry are just some of the collectors of Adam’s work.

In July 2009 was awarded his first major public art commission by Futures Community College in Southend and Commissions East.
