no passive mingling
Degree Show for MA Curating Contemporary Art, RCA, 2024
Press release:
This summer, we are pleased to present No Passive Mingling, a daily private view experience, including works by contemporary London-based artists Sarah Duffy, Faissal El-Malak and Karl Liang. We invite visitors to come prepared with high spirits and open minds, and we promise to provide a space for revelry and co-mingling with artists and friends from across the city and beyond. No Passive Mingling kicks off on 19 June and continues each day until 23 June.
During the repeated activations,* guests can expect an awe-inspiring environment for artistic and interpersonal engagement with refreshments. After receiving a VIP ticket enter the space to enjoy the seductive light and soundscape of Chinese artist Karl Liang, the mind-bending visuals of multidisciplinary Palestinian artist Faissal El-Malak and answer a phone call or two to chat with others and British sound and performance artist Sarah Duffy, aided by a series of prompts.
This special, daily recurring temporary opening celebration is facilitated by a group of international curators – Albby Hanxu Zhang, Giada Holland, Hee Jo Kang, Tai-Hsiang Huang, Sabina Eastman and Safiyah Abaalkhail – from the MA Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art.
We look forward to seeing you there.
*The space is open for passive viewing from noon when we’ll be recovering from the previous day’s revelry. Come by during opening hours for the real entertianment.
