This year's Kingston MA shows from a range of disciplines including Communication Design, Architecture, 3D Design, and Fine Art were held in the Bargehouse building at the OXO Tower on the South Bank. I made a whirlwind tour on the day the show opened. Here is a brief snapshot of some of the work that caught my immediate attention. Many students were displaying work that I could easily have spent much more time looking at. Consequently I have allowed that to inform my brief selection. What would I be easily enticed to go back to see again?
