Show RCA 2011 opens next week, come have a gan­der.
The Royal Col­lege of Art grad­u­ate exhi­bi­tion: a ‘must-see’ event for any­one inter­ested in twenty-first cen­tury art and design
A warm wel­come to Show RCA 2011 – the cul­mi­na­tion of Royal Col­lege of Art post­grad­u­ate stu­dents’ stu­dio work and research in Applied Art, Archi­tec­ture, Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, Design, Fash­ion & Tex­tiles, Fine Art and Human­i­ties, and a show­case for this next gen­er­a­tion of artists, design­ers, writ­ers and thinkers.

Shows and Dates
For the first time since the 2007 Great Exhi­bi­tion, Show RCA presents the work of 431 grad­u­at­ing art and design stu­dents simul­ta­ne­ously, from 24 June to 3 July 2011.

At Show Bat­tersea, Fine Art stu­dents exhibit in the Paint­ing and Sculp­ture build­ings at the RCA’s SW11 cam­pus and in the Test­bed 1 Gallery nearby.

Applied Art, Archi­tec­ture, Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, Design, Fash­ion & Tex­tiles and Human­i­ties come together at Show Kens­ing­ton in a remark­able gath­er­ing of design talent.

Show Fash­ion – when grad­u­ates present their final col­lec­tions in two cat­walks shows – took place on 1 June, to great acclaim.

For details, see Vis­i­tor Infor­ma­tion.

The Design Inter­ac­tions — Work in Progress show opens tonight at 6pm. I’ll be show­ing some arti­facts from my ‘Design­ing Robot Shoes’ work­shops that have been tak­ing place over the last few months and some exper­i­men­tal mod­els of robot armpits.

Pri­vate View on 1st of Feb­ru­ary at 6pm
Exhi­bi­tion open to the pub­lic:
2–7 Feb­ru­ary, 2011
10.00am-5.30pm daily

Do come along!

I recently hosted a Design­ing Robot Shoes work­shop at Lon­don Col­lege of Com­mu­ni­ca­tions. Thank you to Paul Bai­ley, Tutor on the FdA Design for Graphic Com­mu­ni­ca­tion for organ­is­ing every­thing. About 15 stu­dents turned out, mak­ing it the largest work­shop to date and there were loads of weird and excit­ing ideas for putting our­selves in robot shoes. Just one of the great ideas is shown above.
