other way round
7 – 9 March | Triangle Space, Chelsea College of Arts
an exhibition by new PhD Students
other way round can mean many things: is it that we have gone the wrong way and should recalculate our itinerary? Or that we are on our way to totally uncharted territory? In this case, we are attempting to make visible diverse approaches to practice-based research. This 1st year PhD students' exhibition brings together samples of research practice from very different fields, and tries to grow conversations from them. Spanning over fine arts, design and curating, the confrontation of this diverse work in one common space aims to create meaning from these impromptu interactions. By crystallising our ongoing practice at an arbitrary moment in
the PhD journey, we hope to offer a view of the research process and learn from it, as much as we hope to provide food for thought.
Event Programme
Tuesday 7th March
12-6pm
Neil Farnan
Monopoly to Utopoly – a utopian exchange
The board game Monopoly encapsulates key features
of our economy and celebrates some of its worst
aspects.
This ubiquitous game normalises socially useless
rentier behaviour, although the intention of the original
version was to do the opposite.
Join us in evaluating this particular economic
model and engage with new values, properties and
currencies to design a more utopian economy.
Or pop in later to have fun playing the redesigned
Utopoly game.
Wednesday 8th March
