CHASMA

PhD research is required to add to existing knowledge about a topic: to contribute towards filling the breach. Sometimes the new knowledge acts like a meteor shedding light as it travels out into the public space.

We are delighted to welcome back artist-researchers from the RCA’s School of Arts and Humanities in another exhibition mentored by Beaconsfield. Some students return with new works, and many more have not previously exhibited here. The works in this 2024 exhibition are all further steps in the process of excavating new knowledge – new expressions of the untold and yet unseen.

Further insights into the research are offered through performative actions on three days as follows:

Thursday 1 February: Varvara Keidan Shavrova (6.30pm), Gabrielle Mowat (6.45pm), Anju Marie Kasturiraj (7pm) Katrine Skovsgaard (7.30pm).

Saturday 3 February: Sohaila Baluch (12-5pm), Katrine Skovsgaard (4pm).

Saturday 10 February: roundtable discussion and performances with contributions from Sohaila Baluch (12-5pm), Hannah Clarkson (12-5pm), Alexis Pearse Flynn (12-5pm), Varvara Keidan Shavrova (1pm), Minna Pöllänen (1.30pm), Gabrielle Mowart (2pm), Martin Bonney (2.30pm), Roshana Rubin Mayhew (3.30pm), Katrine Skovsgaard (4pm).

Private View: 1 February, 6-8pm
