Sites & Galleries
The college is based in the Crawford Building facing onto Perth Road at the south-western corner of the University of Dundee's main campus, and the Matthew Building behind it. Temporary exhibitions are held in various galleries within the College, including the Cooper Gallery and the Matthew Gallery organised by the Exhibitions team led by Curator Sophia Hao. The college also has a research facility located within the Dundee Contemporary Arts building: the Visual Research Centre, which includes Centrespace - an experimental flexible studio/gallery where research outcomes can be given their first public airing.
Aside from the galleries it runs, the College also maintains an art collection of work by its students, usually acquired from the annual Degree Shows. The collection is now managed as a public museum collection by the University of Dundee Museum Services. Works from the collection are regularly exhibited within the University, as well being loaned to other museums and galleries throughout the country. Work by College staff is regularly exhibited in sites owned by the City of Dundee, the University generally or the DCA as well as in events throughout the world.
More information on gallery areas can be found on the Exhibitions at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design page.
From 2001 until 2003, the University of Dundee held a London graduation ceremony for the benefit of participants in the New Designers' Show in which several officials of the faculty and university decanted to certain venues (in 2003, at Sadler's Wells Theatre; in 2001 and 2002 at the Estorick Gallery). Due to semesterisation, the dates no longer conflict.

Famous quotes containing the word galleries:
“I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
