Interim: A group show from The Ruskin School of Art’s BFA2 cohort

15/08/2025


In early May 2025, Fusion Arts again opened its doors to the second year cohort of The Ruskin School of Art’s BFA program. This group show opened on the 8th of May with a private view where attendees encountered a wide range of multimedia work, creatively engaging with Fusion’s 15 Park End Street space. This work explored the interim, a group exhibition presented by a body of students in a constant state of rebecoming, through their education, their transitional phase of life and the constant shifting of the world around them.

On the exhibition, BFA student Sasha Hardy wrote ‘Stuck in flux and constantly evolving, we wanted to use this exhibition to mark the interim period of our degree. In a world of relentless change, when does the interim period become permanent? Or is permanence a myth: as certainty slips, swept away by the threat/promise of something new on the horizon? To embrace the interim feels at once liberating and scary. Possibility stretches in front of us. We don't know what is next, so we appreciate the now! We hope you enjoy this celebration of the in-between, the unfinished, the meantime, the unstable, the interval, the interim.’

This ethos was well demonstrated when, during the opening night, one artwork - a bucket of milk - was accidentally knocked over. Rather than clean it up, the artist chose to leave it as a living reminder that art is always in motion, changing and evolving.

The private view was followed by a performance night the following evening. This event featured an engaging program of performances featuring Ruskin BFA students from across the years:

The Point at Which We Converge by Ella Soni & Eve Aspland

Millenia After Neo Hong Kong by Yuze Yuan

The Well at Dier Aban by Ale Nodarse Jammal

WOHOOOOOOO by Mellifera, Cerana, and Dorsata

The show was open daily between 09/05/25 and 12/05/25.
