Royal College of Art Work in Progress Show 2016Royal College of Art Work in Progress Show ‘Sculpture is characterised by a semi-accidental, self-curated installation that locates students’ displays within their own studio spaces, producing interesting combinations. Structural interventions in the physical spaces emerge through from the studio occupants, and there’s a playful enjoyment of the idea of the hybrid between workspace and display space. There’s a musical stave notation painted on a wall, and a life-size ostrich juxtaposed with a drawn hawk. Within that is a seriousness that articulates itself through intense political narratives: Santiago Villaveces’ self-reflective, textual installation is both a structuralist’s interest in the individual’s position and a formal critique of the organisational structures that obstruct and facilitate his artistic existence, including an archive of overused terms.’
