A Multisensory Dialogue Between Contemporary Art, Material Looking and Scent as Emotional Architecture.
We are off-RCA — a collective of artists, visionaries, and sensorial architects, curating the present and composing the future.
Born from the Royal College of Art — ranked the world’s leading institution for art and design — off-RCA embodies its legacy of radical inquiry, cross-disciplinarity, and poetic experimentation.
But we go further.
We go off. Off-script. Off-grid. Off-perception.
We step into what cannot be named — what must be felt.
We believe scent is art.
Not as decoration. Not a metaphor.
But as emotional architecture — a spatial vibration, an atmospheric container in which the artwork breathes.
Exhibition Details
off-RCAの:memory
Featuring Yuan, Patricio Villanueva, Lotte Cunnell, and Misia-O’
Everything you remember — and everything you don’t.の: memory is not a recollection. It is a haunting. This chapter lingers in the space between presence and absence. Influenced by Bachelard and the fragile poetics of impermanence, memory is rendered not as narrative but as residue — scent, shadow, image, and code. Photographs melt into scent. AI dreams in fragments. A candle cradles a disappearing past.
First gallery: “Galerie Éphémère”, 24 rue de l’hôtel de Ville, 13200, Arles,France
Opening hours: 11am – 7pm
Private View: Friday 11 July, 7.30pm
off-RCA の:air
An installation by Misia-O’
This chapter breathes the quiet poetry of impermanence. Here, architecture is not built from walls, but from breath — choreographed through scented veils, suspended dust, and moving light. Inspired by Bachelard’s reveries on air and Lispector’s fluid presence in Água Viva, the installation dissolves structure into atmosphere.
Second gallery: “Galerie Apothicaire”: 46 Rue du Docteur Fanton, 13200, Arles, France
Opening hours: 1am – 7pm
Private View: Tuesday 8 July
