Exhibition of new PhD research from Royal College of Art curated by Beaconsfield
PhD research is required to bring new knowledge to a topic: to surface unspoken truths, share esoteric findings and contribute towards new ways of thinking and doing things.
‘Surfaced’ speaks to what arises from the deep thinking and material experimentation of the doctoral research process, inviting artist-researchers from the RCA’s School of Arts and Humanities to show their most recent research in the annual PhD exhibition. The works in this 2025 exhibition, curated by Beaconsfield, have been selected to reveal the processes of surfacing new ideas and materialities in the field of contemporary art and design.
