The Royal Amateur Expedition Society (RAES) is a group of highly skilled Amateur Explorers from the Royal College of Art London. This exhibition began in the Lake District in Cumbria, where we stayed at Kurt Schwitters' Merz Barn. For this expedition we explored the theme of “RURAL IS RADICAL”, can the countryside be radical? More than fifty percent of the world live in cities, the urban environment is considered to be the heart of fashion, art, innovation and general contemporaneity. In contrast the pastoral realm is constantly associated with nostalgia and condescended quaintness. With this in mind can we redefine the bucolic? With this theme in mind we held a one day exhibition, displaying our findings in Gallop in South East London.

"The Biennale is the idea of artist, designer and economist Kikos Papadopoulos; supported by the Municipality of Thera, the Estia Association of Pyrgos and the Santorini of the Past Cultural Village in Pyrgos. Our theme for 2012 is The Past. History, Time, Memory and Nostalgia: How do you define your relationship with The Past? How do people you have met in the past, all of your experiences, your memories affect you in the present? Might they subconsciously or even explicitly influence your future? We as individuals each carry forward our own past as ‘vessels’. If everything about the present moment is determined by the past, then, when collectively imagining our future, we ignore the lessons of the past at our peril."

PARADISE contemplates the discovery of something or somewhere more wondrous. Rallied by the desire for change and compelled by dissatisfaction with the present, Royal College of Art students author their own atlases of Paradise, landscaped by different paths in the quest for a better future. This exhibition was shown in the Via Ventura district as part of the Milan Salone Internazionale del Mobile.
