TUCAT TELETHON: Watch online

March 20 2017

While on summer residency at Enjoy from 30 January – 19 February, Riff Raff co-opted the gallery space as their production house. Their aim was to develop a new contemporary art collection of donated work from artists and the general public throughout the nation, provisionally titled the 'Trust us Contemporary Art Trust' (TUCAT).

The apex of Riff Raff's summer residency project was a live-streamed 12-hour telethon-style event at Enjoy on Friday 17th November, 12 noon – midnight. Incorporating a diverse range of variety acts, the TUCAT Telethon was held for the purpose of collecting donated artworks for the TUCAT collection. 

Thank you to everyone who took part in the TUCAT Telethon or viewed the live stream. You can view an edited version of the full event in the six video installments below.
