Chelsea College of Art, Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground, a three day event, PARADE: public modes of assembly and forms of address, LAUNCH EVENT 5-7pm Friday 21st May
Chelsea College of Art and Design has a large contemporary courtyard at its heart: the beautiful Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground. We have collaborated with Polish curator Kuba Szreder to develop a programme of events that will explore the diverse, contested and vital conceptions of being in public.
In a bespoke, temporary structure designed by award-winning Polish architects Ola Wasilkowska and Micha? Piasecki – assembled in public – we aim to produce a landmark event in an amazing location with a host of international contributors.
Parade will challenge the lazy, institutionalised model of knowledge transfer – in which amplified ‘experts’ speak at a passive audience. Our modes of assembly, our forms of address and the knowledge we share will be intimately bound.
