There’s only a couple of days let to catch this year’s Royal College of Art graduation exhibitions Show RCA 2014 and having watched it unfold over the past few months we’re thrilled that the final shows have been so brilliant. If you needed any more convincing that’s it’s worth heading to either the RCA’s Kensington or Battersea campus (or both?!) over the weekend, then hopefully this film might sway you. With more than 570 students’ work on show it’s impossible to fully appreciate the sheer scale of the exhibitions without being there, but hopefully this gives you a taster of just how good it is.

It’s Nice That is proud to be media partner for Show RCA 2014 which runs until 29 June (closed 27); find out more on the dedicated website.

Three black and white photographs are mounted on a white gallery wall. The prints are physically cut and folded to create 3D architectural shapes that extend from the images.

Five polished brass objects of varying shapes and sizes sit on a thick, dark slab of rough-edged stone. The objects include a small bowl, a candle holder under a glass dome and a tall, pointed black spire.
