comunicato stampa

Lying on rocks, sitting in windows, standing on chairs presents the work of nine artists across three spaces at the Royal College of Art: the Hockney Gallery, the Lecture Theatre and a single-edition book, located in the RCA Library. The exhibition invites viewers to follow a chain of translations and correspondences across and between the three spaces and to consider the specific modes of display associated with a gallery, theatre and book. All three modes of display carry particular historical references and ideological connotations; they further offer different spatial and temporal formats which generate possible scenarios for encounter between artwork and audience. The works presented act within and against the exhibition formats in question.
