Seven artists from the Royal College of Art are collaborating with Open Eye Gallery for participation in this year’s Biennial Fringe. Telling Tales is a group exhibition that makes use of photography, text, moving image, sculpture, and sound to delve into the recreation of experience. Our emotions and experiences are subjective and in an increasingly connected society we are encouraged to share them. As a result, the personal becomes staged - in moments of reflection, online and through art. The seven participating artists present stories and re- enactments, artworks and fables.

About the Royal College of Art: The School of Fine Art at the Royal College of Art enables focused study within an environment that is ambitious to generate new practices and insights. We thrive on interaction across the broad area of fine art through teaching delivered by key contemporary artists, writers, curators and thinkers. Students are encouraged to focus in depth on the particularities of their own work within their programme while also being exposed to more critically diverse positions across the artistic spectrum.
