Futurising

With their ingenuity and endless creativity, artists are best positioned to beat the recession. Curating partnership ArtCrunch was set up to help young and emerging artists showcase their work, and more importantly, it proved how versatile art can be in times of recession, as creativity compensates for the lack of cash. Hear more about their multi-disciplinary work and how you can beat the crunch with your creativity!

 

The speakers will be Susana Sanroman and India Roper-Evans, curators and founders of Artcrunch, a platform for emerging artists and graduates to showcase their work; finding alternative or disused spaces and transforming them into temporary art galleries. Set-up by two University of the Arts London graduates in 2009 in response to the lack of opportunities for artists marked by the current economic climate. This project aims to prove how versatile art can be in times of recession; creativity compensating for lack of cash; by responding in a constructive, and positive way to the crisis.
The shows involve multidisciplinary work from innovative contemporary artists, who exhibit alongside a renowned guest practitioner. 

 

Joining them at the end of their presentation for the last 10minutes will be Serena Bobowski, director of Shunt Lounge.

 

Susana Sanroman will also be conducting one-to-one portfolio reviews on 30th June between 10am and 12.30pm.
