UCL staff and alumni exhibit 'junk'

The show focuses on issues relating to man-made waste and cultural ephemera, examining attitudes to objects that are usually discarded.

Eduardo Paolozzi's (UCL Slade School 1947, Fellow 1986) 'Head looking up' is a combination of the organic and the mechanical, while painter and sculptor Neil Gall (Slade School 1993) uses shape, colour and texture to create surreal landscapes.

The head of undergraduate sculpture at the Slade, Professor Barlow (Slade School 1967) takes scrap yard materials such as polystyrene, wood and plastic to create colourful, large-scale sculptures that often seem delicate and precariously balanced. She became the Slade's first female professor in 2005.
