Spring term at RCA concluded with a group show at StudioRCA with my MRes coursemates. We called our group exhibition, “Pass-the-Parcel” and we just had our opening on 26 April. As you can see from the poster (designed by yours truly!), it’s jam packed with para-activities all the way to the last day:
We started installing from 23 April.
This is Lauren Iredale hanging her double-sided paintings:
Harri Hudspith installing her sculpture:
Fuen Chin helping Félicie Kertudo to sew her curtains:
Fuen again – discussing with Joel Chan how to hang the multimedia component in her work. Joel, an ex-RCA graduate himself from MA Sculpture, helped us out with the installation:
Walls needed a coat of paint, and this was done by me:
Joel adjusting the projector to show Harri and Laura Sullivan’s collaborative work, Embody:
Xiaoyi Nie, our curatorial contributor, checking out Félicie’s work:
Joel again, using a spirit level to check my shelves:
And this is how my 5 paint objects look like installed!

Posters are stuck:
Harri’s seminar, The Way of Perfection, was the first event that took place in the space on 26 April:
Guests started streaming in at 6pm, when our exhibition officially opens:
Our tutor, Kimathi Donkor, participating in Laura’s interactive work, Rubbings, rubbing out her drawing with the erasers and gloves provided:
At 7pm, Allan Struthers started his performance, What Are You Arguing About Now? Relational Aesthetics:
I felt like I was filming a sitcom with everybody watching:
In the end we named the piece, “Is there anybody up there” and signed our names on the back of the card:
Laura carried out her workshop, Playing the Field, soon after:
And that pretty much sums up our opening! Pass-the-Parcel is on till 29 April if you’d like to stop by!
