Ugly Duck

RCA Visual Communication 2021 graduates are pleased to introduce TERMINAL, a concept-led final year show happening at the Ugly Duck from 27- 30 June 2021. Following the life and work of over 50 Visual Communicators, TERMINAL showcases essential works produced during (and in response to) isolation. This show unpacks the student experience of spending 18 months in a terminal-like space, and seeing it as an essential period in critical thinking and making. Visitors are invited to join this speculative space spread across nine exhibition zones: Arrivals, Customs, Vestibule, Bus Stop, Declarations (Preview only), Waiting Room (Library), Round Table, Control Room and Duty-Free. For the neo-nomads amongst us, lobby-room dwellers, coffee-shop inhabitants — creatures of the transient who thrive in flux — the global lockdown created deep inertia. From the strange and transitory now, we are travelling back to when things stopped — &quot;terminus&quot; from Latin.TERMINAL is not where; it’s when. It unpacks the broader questions when brought on. When everything is unmoving, uncertain and unprecedented, how do we change, create, grow? When in isolation energy is a limited resource, what can we afford to create? When art is deemed non-essential, how can sacrifices and compromises inform new values in the work we take into the post-Covid world — what is essential?
