New Contemporaries: Promoting the Future of Contemporary Art
Close to our own Ethos of helping Artists, New Contemporaries is the leading organisation supporting emerging Artists from UK art schools. Their show, Bloomberg New Contemporaries, was an honour for us to play a part in.
Heard of names like Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Tacita Dean, Anish Kapoor, or Grayson Perry? New Contemporaries has been coined as an organisation who identifies and supports Turner Prize winners long before their fame, as emerging Artists.
This year was no different. We had the privilege of supporting their exhibition with kit at Block 336 in Brixton this past month. With over 1000 visitors in the first 24-hours of opening, even as VIP we found ourselves in a queue wrapped around the building along Brixton Road — just to give you an idea of the buzz surrounding the exhibition.
You can see Bloomberg New Contemporaries show featured in The Art Newspaper, Aesthetica, Timeout, London Live, Evening Standard, Brixton Blog and Brixton Buzz.
We’re extremely proud of our friends at New Contemporaries, but even more so of the Artist’s who have toured this show — after it’s launch in 2017 at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Newcastle — to London bringing to life their works for us all to experience.
A few words from Rosa, the New Contemporaries Development Manager, ‘We are very happy to be exhibiting Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2017 at Block 336 in Brixton this year. The exhibition looks fantastic in the space and we’ve had a wonderful turnout and response to the show. It’s been a great experience for the participating artists to have their work seen by so many people and featured in prominent articles. We are particularly grateful for all our our partners for supporting the delivery of the exhibition, including KitMapper who supported us with kit to present artists AV work.’
We’re exceedingly proud of everyone involved from the Artists, to the staff at both New Contemporaries and Block336 for presenting such a remarkable show. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for new media and video work in contemporary art.
