Wet Paint

Still drying. Still yours.

A degree show that admits it isn't finished. Unframed work hung on bulldog clips, a wall everyone paints together, and price tags on pieces that were never for sale.

01

The concept

Degree shows pretend the work is done. This one leaves the paint wet.

Wet Paint stages a show that is honest about being mid-process. Work hung unframed on bulldog clips and string, wall labels that give the piece a title and the number of times it was restarted, a collaborative wall the whole group paints across the day, and price tags on everything — absurd, non-negotiable, not for sale.

It is the loosest realm in the catalogue and the only one where the venue is meant to end up messier than it started. Palette is burnt orange and raw paper.

02

Identity

A wall label and a price tag. Both deadpan.

A gallery label system — artist, title, medium, restarts, price — set with real gallery restraint so the content does the work.

A hand-stamped numeral set for tags and a four-page guide whose only strict rule is that the labels are never handwritten, however loose the rest of the day gets.

Step-by-step builds with real costs. Start with the green ones.

  • Easy

    Clip-and-string hanging

    Taut lines and bulldog clips instead of frames. Costs almost nothing, takes an hour, and lets people rehang their own work through the day — which they will.

    The collaborative wall

    Lining paper across one wall with the guides pencilled on. Everyone adds something once, at any point in the day. It is finished when the day ends, not before.

    Plinths from crates

    Borrowed crates stacked, wrapped in the printed panels, weighted inside. Three of these turn a corridor into a show.

Photography

Twelve shots, in order, for a room full of colour.

A colourful room fights itself in photographs, so the list keeps backgrounds plain and shoots work straight-on, with people only in the wide shots.

Plus a grade preset pair that stops the orange bleeding into skin tones.

08

Video

One 45-second edit anybody can cut on a phone.

A time-lapse of the collaborative wall filling, cut with close hands and the guest book.

Titles as transparent PNG sequences in the label style, plus a CapCut guide for time-lapse from one fixed mark.
