"The Department of Philosophy is an academic division in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King's College London. It is one of the largest and most distinguished centres for the study of philosophy in the United Kingdom.https://www.timeshighereducation.com/sites/default/files/Attachments/2014/12/17/x/o/z/sub-14-01.pdf History For over half a century since the Anglican foundation of King's College in 1829, the study of philosophy was restricted to courses within the Department of Theology and the Department of English Literature. In 1906 a separate Department of Philosophy and Psychology was explicitly established, and in 1912 Philosophy split to form its own department. The department is located in the Philosophy Building on Surrey Street, a set of three adjacent townhouses joined through a series of corridors and forming part of the Strand Campus of King's College.http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/philosophy/about/Map-Philosophy- building.pdfhttp://transact.westminster.gov.uk/docstores/publications_store/Strand.pdf The vaults along the back of the building are those containing the old Roman Baths on Strand Lane. In 1989, Sir Richard Sorabji founded the King's College Centre for Philosophical Studies at the department with the aim of promoting philosophy to the wider public. The Head of Department is currently Bill Brewer, Susan Stebbing Professor of Philosophy at King's. Traditions The Department of Philosophy owns a historic bar on its premises in Surrey Street, officially the King's College Sports & Social Club Bar but referred to informally as simply the Philosophy Bar. Management of the bar was taken over by the King's College London Students' Union in 2016. Academic staff and students of the department also make an annual trip to Cumberland Lodge, a Grade II listed country house in Windsor Great Park. There is a programme of lectures, communal meals and other activities, including an annual football match played between staff and students. Student life in the department is administered mainly by the King's College London Philosophy Society. Rankings The Department of Philosophy at King's ranks highly in both national and global rankings. The Philosophical Gourmet Report lists the department at 4th in the UK and 26th in the English-speaking world. QS World University Rankings places the department at 5th in the UK and 10th globally in 2019.

"Kim Leutwyler, an emerging artist based in Sydney, has exhibited her work in multiple galleries across both Australia and the United States. While harboring a collection of pieces that utilize different mediums, she most frequently displays paintings that focus on progressive ideas of gender and beauty, as well as people who identify as queer. Personal life and education Born in the United States, Kim Leutwyler spent her formative years traveling from place to place. She did not spend a substantial amount of time in any given area, and only briefly lived in places like Chicago, Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut. Initially, Leutwyler sought to study accounting after finishing her high school education, but an impulse led her to enroll in the art history program at Arizona State University. It was there that she focused almost exclusively on ceramics and printmaking until she received concurrent bachelor's degrees in both Studio Art and Art History. Seeking to further her education, she later graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Painting and Drawing degree as well. However, her time spent studying abroad at the University of Auckland in New Zealand was very impressionable. Leutwyler fell in love with the landscapes and spirit of adventure, and promised herself that she would once again visit the South Pacific when given the chance. An opportunity eventually presented itself, and she migrated to Australia in late 2012. Career Leutwyler has actively created work through a variety of mediums to include installation, ceramics, drawing, and printmaking. Predominately focusing on LGBT-identified and allied women, trans, and gender nonconforming people, her large-scale paintings stimulate dialogue in both mainstream and feminist art worlds. Her portraiture series features a mix of notable activists and artists including musician and drag queen Trixie Mattel, marriage equality activist Sally Rugg, Olympic athlete Michelle Heyman and DJ, writer and actor Faustina Agolley. Leutwyler harbors a deeper desire to contribute to the destabilization of gender borders. As Leutwyler herself often explains, her work tends to explore the fine lines between objectification, glorification, and modification. Both the fluidity and overall complexity of identity continue to generate inspiration for the artist. Just as people often evolve and adapt to their surrounding social environment, they also do so upon her canvases. With a particularly unique aesthetic, Leutwyler's work harbors bold and bright blocks of color that meld with the subjects. As she elaborates in an interview: > The 'ideal' female anatomy has changed over time, with varying aesthetics > that metamorphose based on age, race, geography and time period. For > centuries, humans have embraced body modification as a means of expression, > rites of passage, religious beliefs and cultural aesthetics. I paint my > friends and the people that I care about most, who embrace a small fraction > of current cultural aesthetics and modifications. Body art, plastic surgery > and piercings are not uncommon among the women you see in my work. It was the historical use of patterns to contemplate concepts like beauty, piety, and even justice that invoked a deep inspiration behind much of Leutwyler's work. In fact, many of the subjects in her works are depicted before their favorite patterns. It was this very fascination that eventually led her to the discovery of Kehinde Wiley, an artist with highly naturalistic work that displays individuals posed before patterns of various cultures. Upon the realization that other artists were exploring similar boundaries, she sought further inspiration and investigation into history. This led her to artists like Caravaggio who utilized tenebrism, painting only where the light bounced off of the subject. Inspired by such techniques, she therefore adopted the practice of blending bright and vivid patterns where the shadows of the subject would be. Another great inspiration was Robert Rauschenberg, an artist with not only art that garnered Leutwyler's attention, but a lasting legacy. He contributed a substantial amount of money and time to the establishment of organizations that supported such things as human rights and world peace. Such philanthropic efforts were something that she admired. In fact, her desire to impact the world through artistic vision remains an ultimate goal, and has since led her to the founding of a project, PhilanthropART, in which she periodically donates a portion of the proceeds from her artwork to a different non-profit organization each. = Collections = * Brooklyn Art Library, Brooklyn, New York * Printmaking Student Association Collection, Arizona State University = Exhibitions = 2014 * Artfully: A Digital Discovery, Zigi's Art Gallery, Sydney, Australia * The Comfort Zone, Gasworks Arts Park, Melbourne, Australia * Inquisitarium, Art @1 Spring Street, Melbourne, Australia 2015 * Archibald Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia * The Other Art Fair, aMBUSH Project Space, Sydney, Australia * Home Free: A Midsumma Exhibition, Gasworks Arts Park, Melbourne, Australia 2016 * Portia Geach Memorial Award, S.H.
