Members Activities

A series of educational debates connected to the exhibition “Peter Kardia: From Floor to Sky” was launched at Tate Britain and was organised in collaboration with Tate Britain’s educational department. The RCA Society will be launching a third debate at the Royal College after the St Martins debates on the 26th and 27 March.

A large audience gathered in London's east end Toynbee Hall theatre space, Whitechapel, to see two films by "director extraordinaire" Ian Johnson. The first film to be shown was "Bruce Lacey: The Original Performance Artist" (56mins) a film documenting the work of 60's robotics and performance artist Bruce Lacey. Ian's second film "No Problem..." (33mins), was a tense documentary film about actor, writer and man of notorious and experimental theatre, Ken Campbell.

FROM FLOOR TO SKY is a major exhibition of British art to be held at P3 Gallery, in Central London, in Spring 2010. The exhibition is curated by the influential teacher Peter Kardia. The contributing artists were his one time students from both St Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art.

RCA Society members went to the Serpentine Gallery's opening of Jeff Koon's first major exhibition in a public gallery in England.

The RCA Society again gave its support to the “More is More” series of symposia, organised by Alec Robertson, recently held at the Dana Centre, London. Members may recall a number of design complexity events organised by Alec - two were previously held at the College (2005 / 2006) and one at East London University (2007).

4th - 17th September 08 from 6 - 9pm

It's always amazing when you bump into people and discover they were students at the College - it's even more surprising when you also come across the work of RCA Society members and even nicer if they are around to talk with as well.

It's surprising how many RCA Society members live in Kent and nearby East Sussex. Equally surprising was the number of people who gathered together to go to the Annual Air show. Once again, our membership secretary, Doreen Wilcockson, who (conveniently) lives near Woodchurch, generously opened her house to us all for the day and directed us to the AirShow. The weather has a habit of being wonderful for these airshows - and this year was no exception. It was a perfect day to watch airplanes of all ages 'loop the loop' and do dare devillish tricks against a perfect sky for taking photos.

At the end of July 06, an RCA Society exhibition will be held in the intriguing domed base of Dungeoness’s "Old Lighthouse"- Kent. The exhibition will be of "instant" photo works - images of the nuclear power station dominated area of Dungeoness
