About
AirSpace Gallery is pleased to be one of three hosts of New Art West Midlands 2018 – the 6th iteration of this showcase of exciting new contemporary art by Fine Art or visual arts graduates of the five University art schools in the region: Birmingham City University, Coventry University, Staffordshire University, University of Wolverhampton and University of Worcester and Hereford College of Arts.
Since 2013, New Art West Midlands has exhibited work by 149 artists, at seven venues to visitors in excess of 500,000. 15 expert selectors have been involved and £23,000 of prize money, nine bursaries and 20 opportunities (residencies, projects, membership and mentoring) have been awarded.
For New Art West Midlands 2018, 28 artists, all of whom have graduated in the past three years, have been selected to have their work on display at three prestigious local venues. Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry and here at AirSpace Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent.
The nine artists selected to exhibit at AirSpace have all graduated from Birmingham City University and their work mirrors that of the whole exhibition selection - comprising a mix of existing works and new large-scale installations, sculpture, photography, video, animation, paintings and digital artworks, exploring themes of identity, artificial intelligence, blurred reality and more.
