RCA Secret 2015, by Feral Things on Mar 14, 2015 13:08:22 GMT 1, RCA Secret opens today and the postcards and artists are now up on the RCA website (although obviously it doesn't match the artists to the postcards). Big names this year include Grayson Perry, Christo, Maggi Hambling and Paula Rego. These are my favourites:
The Dubai event opens Wednesday and includes a pretty easily recognisable contribution from eL Seed.

So how does this work then? The first 50 places are reserved for lottery winners, so even if you queue really early the best you can hope for is 51st in? I'm afraid so! Everyone can buy four postcards and in addition to the 50 lottery winners there is usually c.75 people who camp out overnight. So, unless you're prepared to do the same, even if you get there super early on the Saturday morning it's likely that 500 of the 3,000 postcards might already have gone. There's a couple of postcards in both the London and Dubai exhibitions that I absolutely love but it's just too far to travel given the slim chances of being able to buy one of those cards. Nevertheless, I've always thought it's a fantastic concept and the uncertainty is all part of the fun. The Dubai exhibition opened today and the postcards are now online here.

Mostly the family favourites I know, I was stood behind him as he picked them one at a time! Trust me to get second place the day a member of your family gets first! |
