Ruskin Gallery Relaunch
On May 9 2011, staff, students and members of the public gathered in Ruskin Gallery for the unveiling of its new and groundbreaking digital gallery, the first of its kind in the UK. The innovative new gallery displays art in a digital format on High Definition screens, including the world's first Panasonic 103" 3D Full HD plasma screen which was specially imported from Japan.
Chris Owen, Head of the Cambridge School of Art said:
"This is a hugely valuable facility for Anglia Ruskin University, the city of Cambridge and the UK. Whether students are studying fine art, photography, animation or film production, the opportunity to exhibit digital artwork is of paramount importance in the contemporary art world. This exhibition space is already attracting interest from a wide range of international artists, and we are confident it will soon become a major attraction in the cultural life not just of Cambridge but the whole region."
