Students to exhibit work at the National Space Centre

Student work for the Bowie event

The National Space Centre in Leicester is exhibiting Loughborough students’ work as part of their Bowie: Oddity to Mars event.

Art and Design Foundation students with a Textile and Fashion specialism photographed fashion works that they created in response to David Bowie and space. These are to be displayed as part of the event which celebrates Space Oddity, written by Bowie in the same year that Armstrong walked the moon.

It will be held 10-11 January, as this coincides with the anniversary of Bowie’s death.

Yanina Temple, Lecturer in the School of Design and Creative Arts said: “We are very excited to be involved in this event as this way of working is a new experience for most of the students.

“I am very proud of the enthusiasm and achievement of the students as they had only seven days to research, develop ideas, experiment three-dimensionally, model and produce creative photographic imagery that is a personal interpretation of the theme Bowie: Oddity to Mars.”
