MA Curating and Collections at Chelsea College of Arts<\/strong><\/a> present an exhibition exploring the working relationship between the acclaimed theatre and film designer, Jocelyn Herbert, and the playwright and author, Samuel Beckett.<\/p>\n

The materials for the exhibition are selected from the Jocelyn Herbert Archive at the National Theatre<\/strong>, the NT\u2019s only archive dedicated to a designer. The archive includes sketchbooks, set and costume drawings, annotated scripts, research material, notebooks and diaries, masks and puppets, correspondence, personal photographs and official production photography from rehearsals and performances. Herbert\u2019s working relationship with Beckett spans from the 1950\u2019s to the 1970\u2019s; using artefacts from the archive the exhibition will reveal aspects of the biography of Jocelyn Herbert, her personal and professional relationships, and will give a unique insight into the theatre making process.<\/p>\n

\"JH<\/a><\/p>\n

This show is curated by the Exhibition Studio Workshop<\/strong> – the practice-based unit of Chelsea\u2019s MA Curating and Collections course. It is part of a series of shows entitled Work From the Collections, and is the inaugural exhibition in what is hoped will be an ongoing series exploring the Jocelyn Herbert Archive at the National Theatre.<\/p>\n
