Kate's in London and I'm at my boyfriend's parent's house eating asparagus, which I hate actually, but anyway... Kate's friend Zara exhibits her work at the RCA Sculpture Show and on friday I had to help her sort out some clothes to wear. They're also dining at nobu tonight which is said to be a really cool restaurant - I'm so ignorant with such things sometimes...Opening on Tuesday 22 May the RCA Sculpture Show is the eagerly awaited annual end of year exhibition by graduating students from the Royal College of Art’s acclaimed Sculpture Department. The exhibition is a chance for the public, galleries and art collectors to spot new talent and purchase work by the rising stars of contemporary fine art.
Historically the Royal College of Art has figured large in sculpture – indeed it played a key role in the birth of the modern school of British sculpture in the 1920s, with students including Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore changing the face of sculpture for ever. Even more today, the College continues to lead the way, with sculptors Tony Cragg, Richard Wentworth, David Mach and Jake Chapman being just a few RCA alumni. More recently, winners of the first Jerwood Sculpture Prize Benedict Carpenter (2000) and his successor Gereon Krebber (2001), along with 2006 graduate Aisling Hedgecock (a major new artist according to The Independent), have been tipped as names to watch out for.
