Comprising themed sets of A4 photocopies organised according to a precise set of rules by a multitude of producers, the books are available to viewers to copy and assemble into their own unique book of copies. AA Honours 2013 Front Members’ Room Four AA School students graduating this year join luminaries such as Peter Ahrends and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw in receiving full Honours for their studies at the AA School. This accolade recognises prestigious excellence and talent and is the highest award the School can bestow on a student. The 2013 recipients are Friedrich Gräfling (Dip 4), Ja Kyung Kim (Dip 5), Mond Qu (Dip 6) and Antoine Vaxelaire (Dip 9), and this exhibition explores their work across a range of issues – investigations into the contemporary court, gender politics at the DMZ, fictional web-based islands and cities that have shed their past.
