BNC 2008, Club Row

In the largest selection in some years, Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008 introduces the work of 57 artists selected by Richard Billingham, Ceal Floyer and Ken Lum.

Open to all final year graduates and post-graduates of Fine Art at British Colleges and Universities, New Contemporaries is the UK’s longest running art competition for emerging artists. This year’s submission attracted over 1,400 applications and the resulting selection of artists presents a dynamic mix of works that are physical, strong, figurative and bold, with work ranging from painting and photography to taxidermy, waxworks and installation.
