Every week we bring you our special selection of all things arty. From interesting websites to highly anticipated performances for your diary, there is something to spark all kinds of creative interest.
1. Gillian Ayres Exhibition @ RAMM
Gillian Ayres’ Exhibition, ‘Paintings and Prints 1986 to 2011’ is at the RAMM until 15th September. One of the leading abstract artists of the post-war generation, this is a great opportunity to see her work which has previously been exhibited in the Tate and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

2. 24 HRS in Photos Installation
Eric Kessels’ installation consists of printed photographs of all the images uploaded to Flickr in one day. The incredible amount of paper forms a mountain which curves down to the viewer’s feet, portraying how we are constantly upload and are bombarded with images on the web.
3. Dancesport Taster Sessions
Whether you are a Fresher, a second year or even a third year wanting to make the most of your time at Exeter, try something new which is bound to be fun! Come along to the Dancesport Society’s taster sessions in Freshers’ week:

4. Mosaic of Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ using Hubble Space Telescope images
Astronomy student Alex Parker has recreated what is arguably Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous painting, his 1889 ‘Starry Night’, using the hundred most popular deep space Hubble Telescope images.
Van Gogh himself said: “I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.” Alex’s mosaic embodies this sentiment, adding another dimension of sublime beauty with the miniature telescope photographs which let us peer further into the universe whilst reminding us that these are proportions far beyond human contemplation.

5. Human Movement as Sculpture
The Taiwan design house JL Design and KORB created these adverts for a TV company, digitally creating wood, water and other sculptures to look like they were produced by human movement.
