New Contemporaries @ ICA – London

Third year on a row @ ICA for one the most important emerging art shows in the UK: New Contemporaries. 29 artists have been selected this year as a way to showcase what’s the “hottest of the freshest” coming out of Brit art schools this year….

ICA have already hosted the show several times in the 60s, 70s & 80s but it looks like the beginning of the decade brought a permanent location to the show. This year’s lucky participants (from over 1200 submissions) are…. Jennifer Bailey, Jack Brindley, Jamie Buckley, Anita Delaney, Bryan Dooley, Freya Douglas-Morris, George Eksts, Natalie Finnemore, Nicola Frimpong, Salome Ghazanfari, Lauren Godfrey, Sarah Jones, Suki Seokyeong Kang, Piotr Krzymowski, Tara Langford, Tony Law, George Little, Evariste Maiga, Jan May, Nicole Morris, Oliver Osborne, Jennifer Phelan, Polly Read, Emanuel Röhss, Max Ruf, Simon Senn, Jackson Sprague, Samuel Taylor and Tyra Tingleff.

During the exhibition ICA have also organised free guided exhibition tours which take place every Thursday and the “Film Salons” (also each Thursday @ 8:30 p.m.) which basically combine film screenings and discussions giving this year’s artists the opportunity to present their practice in relation to the film of their choice… in a dark room….

Much more info this way!
