Since 1949, New Contemporaries has presented an annual survey exhibition of emerging and early career artists from UK art schools and learning programmes. This unique platform provides artists the opportunity to present their work to a wider audience, alongside a programme of opportunities to support the development of their practice.
The 2024 exhibition features 35 artists, who have been selected through an open call by internationally renowned artists Liz Johnson Artur, Permindar Kaur and Amalia Pica. Launching in Plymouth across three venues, KARST, The Levinsky Gallery and MIRROR, this exhibition marks the first time New Contemporaries has returned to Plymouth in 60 years.
Works are arranged thematically at each venue offering an overview of urgent lived concerns and interests from this generation of artists. Recurrent themes include mindfulness, consumerism, environmentalism, geographical borders, and identity politics. A diverse range of mediums and approaches are featured including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, moving image and sound.
The Levinsky Gallery artists respond to the commodification of mindfulness and self-care, and consumerism. Other works in this gallery explore conviviality and social gatherings, juxtaposed with those that suggest anxieties or discontent in an increasingly alienated and digitally accelerated world.
The exhibiting artists, with names in bold featured at The Levinsky Gallery, are: Motunrayo Akinola, Libby Bove, Max Boyla, Molly Burrows, Fergus Carmichael, Mya Cavner and Edith Liben, Karen David, Roo Dhissou, Beverley Duckworth, Georgia Dymock, Tom Fairlamb, Farzaneh Ghadyanloo, Sara Graรงa, Dageong Han, Siomha Harrington, Anna Howard, Fi Isidore, Asmaa Jama and Gouled Ahmed, Laura Kazaroff, AC Larsen, Sophie Lloyd, Hazel O'Sullivan, Sun Oh, Sara Osman, Saul Pankhurst, Varshga Premarasa, Elliott Roy, Millie Shafiee, Sai Stephenson, Valentino Vannini, Joshua Whitaker, Danilo Zocatelli Cesco, and Yang Zou.
The exhibition will tour from Plymouth to the ICA, London from 15 January - 23 March 2025.
