As part of the RSA200 celebrations we are doing a monthly deep-dive into our almost 50-year exhibition archive and history, looking at a number of the RSA’s Academicians and Alumni who have exhibited with the Travelling Gallery. These include amongst many others; Ilana Halperin RSA, Kenny Hunter RSA, Rachel Maclean RSA (elect) and Ross Sinclair RSA (elect).
The Travelling Gallery goes on the road in 2026 with a programme of exhibitions themed around Technology with responses from both visual artists and those working in contemporary craft.
Our Season 1 Spring exhibition real-time friction, will launch in March and tour until June. The exhibition brings together work by five artists who all explore technology and its slippery nature, where spaces of inauthenticity and curated versions of ourselves blur and distort reality, and algorithms and applications construct fictional narratives or environments to play with or react against.
The Travelling Gallery’s first exhibition, in 2026 will feature work by MV Brown, an artist supported by the RSA in 2019 with a Residency for Scotland, Cove Park Argyll & Bute and a Research & Practice residency in 2022.
Rooted in performance, MV’s practice uses the human body and new technologies to explore the tensions that exist for the body within a digital realm using avatars, prototypes, and ‘false-self’ hoods. We’re excited to work with MV and present their work in the exhibition real-time frictions going on the road from 20 March 2026.
