ARTfutures 2008
About
Artfutures is a unique and un-missable event in the contemporary arts calendar. Each year, the Contemporary Art Society handpicks work by approximately 100 artists to form an exhibition of work for sale. Selected through a combination of exhaustive research including studio visits, ARTfutures offers a truly unrivalled opportunity to buy contemporary art, selected by the UK's leading non-profit agency for independent advice on contemporary collecting.The exhibition offers a snapshot of contemporary practice ' showing work by artists who have recently graduated to those who have substantial reputations - and embracing the full spectrum of media. Independent curator Jeni Walwin, and artist Nicky Hirst lead the selection this year, inviting a number of distinguished artists to nominate other artists and to contribute work themselves has extended the boundaries of the show.
With prices ranging from £500 to £5000, approximately 100 artists will contribute around 1000 works, all created in the last two years. ARTfutures is therefore ideal for those in the market for contemporary art and the selectors, curators and specialists from the Contemporary Art Society will be on hand at all times for information and expert advice. ARTfutures will be held at Bloomberg SPACE, London EC2.
