Friends of the Divided Mind is an exhibition that addresses the organisations that support contemporary art. The show is divided into four projects that consider potentialities for the future of exhibition histories, artist-run spaces, performative and durational practices, and financially independent art spaces, initiated by a strong desire for alternatives. This is reflected in the partitioning of inquiries, working groups and resources, in support of a shared undertaking by the thirteen curators that in turn subverts traditions of consensual decision making. The results of this engaged and agonistic process as well as the individual projects will be considered in a related publication, which will be launched at RCA Show 2 on 13 June 2009

*Friends of the Divided Mind takes its title from a work by British artist Chris Evans
