Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop these youngsters from Stopping crime and having a good time!!!

Gifted with supernatural abilities from a meteor shower from the stars above, five disparate college students who share the same hometown from the U.S Midwest must band together to defend their slice of premillennial Americana (along with the entire cosmos from alien threats but that’s a tangent, I’m “tangenting”!) Ok, listen up.! The recently formed new generation of superheroes are Maria- the loyal goody two shoes, Beatrice- a burst of joys and blissful sunshine, Peter- the unintentional ladies’ man, Jason- the chiller than chill tech wiz, Samuel- the apprehensive and temperamental mentor, and Adam- the shy cynic.

Today we focus on how Adam deals with a horrendous off-planet infected bite from a baddie, and how the team rallies behind their teammate. Revolving around the necessity of friendship and camaraderie in tough times. Mainly aimed towards individuals who are entering adulthood and fear the notion of opening up to others for support and connection, as well as the fear of becoming a burden or embarrassment.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to ‘be.cause_’, the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2017 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Printmaking & Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Creative Multimedia, Fashion Design, Fashion, Knitwear & Textiles, and Visual Communications.

This show is the culmination of the last four years of discipline introduction, skill-building, research and experimentation which has finally led the graduates here; synthesising all they’ve learned and absorbed during their time in LSAD. 2017 has been a historic year, peppered with student shows, both on and off-campus. This year is the first graduating year of the Fashion Knit & Textiles cohort, culminating in a memorable show that featured a wonderful collaboration between students on the programme and students on the Creative Multimedia programme in LSAD Clonmel.

This type of collaboration is one of the most important things graduates will take with them. It’s not only important within the context of an art college, but remains a crucial part of the wider world context of art and design. Increasingly, the creative professions need graduates as flexible, adaptable individuals, capable of working across a variety of media and disciplines. For the last four years they’ve all been working together, and we hope that they continue to stay in touch, and continue to build interdisciplinary links as they advance into their careers.
