SustainLabRCA presents a ‘Co-creating With Nature’ exhibition, revealing RCA students’ works that embed sustainability through materials and processes taking place on 13–17 May at the Royal College of Art.
Co-creating with nature explores environmentally conscious works of artists and designers who commit to sustainability through thinking about alternative systems and processes in their practice. Inviting nature as a co-creator, collaborator, and protagonist of narrative-making, the exhibition suggests the possibilities of creating collective forms of art with nature.
In 'What Is an Author' (1969), Michel Foucault redefines the notion of author, subject, and subjectivation by integrating with heterogeneous elements, such as human and more-than-human. As Foucault challenged the pre-existing notion of the author in his book, the exhibition questions the binary notion that perceives humans as subjects and more-than-human beings as objects in art-making.
This year's unique format features a design and art exhibition running simultaneously. The art show will take place at the Upper Gulbenkian Gallery, while the design show will be hosted at the Hockney Gallery, both at the RCA Kensington Campus.
