This is a special live episode of Holding up the Ladder in collaboration with The Royal College of Art. feat. Gülce Tulçalı and Phoebe Davies.
As part of the Royal College of Art (RCA) MA graduate students', Curating Contemporary Art Exhibition and their curatorial show, Feed Back, I was invited to lead a discussion exploring remediating legacies, curatorial repair and the role of artistic practice in defining and potentially shaping new legacies.
Our conversation took place in the Hanger space at the RCA, an open concrete and brick exhibition space with numerous MA students assembling their curatorial shows. So during our conversation expect to hear the hive like activity of a space in preparation.
The curatorial team responsible for Feed Back were:
Apoorva Subbanna, Yi Fan, Serena Gao, Francesca Inciong, Stephanie Rubio, Arina Baburskova and Indy Calland
Artists:
We talk about dystopian realities, about the body, about making, about the artist’s role responding to the world around us. We talk about tenant farming, about collectivity and the commons.
