21st RCA secret gets curatorial

Well, well, well this is big news on the RCA secret front and potentially extremely exciting!

I've reprinted below the content of a facebook post made by the college yesterday

It's almost our Birthday and we decided to let you in on a little Secret we have been keeping up our sleeve!!!! So here it is.....
Stewarts Law RCA Secret turns 21 and this year is celebrating coming of age with a bold new collaboration that sees us working with some of industry’s top curators, bringing in a whole new breadth of talent to the exhibition.
Twenty-three curators from around the world have been invited to commission three artists to make postcards for the sale. With contributors including industry leaders and the most exciting new names in contemporary curation, the programme mirrors the exhibition's ethos of placing established names next to the stars of the future.

Among the curators involved are Laurence Sillars, chief curator of the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art; David Falkner, Gallery Director at Stanley Picker Gallery; Laura Sillars, Artistic Director at Site Gallery; Ingrid Swenson, Director of PEER; Alistair Hudson, Director of Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art; and Chris Clark critic and Senior Curator at Lewis Glucksman Gallery.
See the full list of Curators bellow and check out our Curators on our website at: http://london.secret.rca.ac.uk/2015/curators/

It's oh so quiet

I appreciate there's been a low key build up to this year's sale on the blog but with the sale 2 weeks away today there hasn't been a lot to report.  

No news articles have been published yet and the college have been keeping shtum on contributor news.  We know the college have had contributions from the likes of Pete Fowler. Anita Klein, Susie Hamilton and Wayne Chisnall from their blog posts and Twitter feeds.  If you follow my Twitter feed I retweet any news we get on that platform.  Keep your eyes peeled....

RCA Secret has a brand new website

This years sale will be celebrated with a brand, spanking new website, first unveiled today.  Looks good so far, hopefully it will be easier to navigate than the last one once the cards are online.  Getting excited now?
