'Catching the Light' explores artists’ fascination with light, how it is used as a material to preserve the essence of place, time and experience, evoking feelings such as nostalgia, wonder and otherness. This exhibition sets to survey light as medium in the practice of ten contemporary artists, employing a range of media from video based work, to pinhole photography, sculpture and camera obscura.
Alongside this, we are delighted to be hosting the RCA Fulldome Research Group as this year’s summer residency supporting the development of practice-based research and learning through the arts.
The RCA Fulldome Research Group investigates the creative, artistic and communicative possibilities of immersive fulldome projection spaces through practice-based research. FDRG is part of Information Experience Design in the School of Communication at the Royal College of Art, London and works in collaboration with the Peter Harrison Planetarium at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London.
