Bloomberg New Contemporaries at South London Gallery

Bloomberg New Contemporaries returns to the South London Gallery with an exhibition of works by 45 emerging artists presented across both the Main Gallery and Fire Station. A guest panel comprising artists Rana Begum, Sonia Boyce and Ben Rivers selected participants from over 1,500 applications to the annual open-submission exhibition.

The show marks the 70th anniversary of New Contemporaries, which since 1949 has played a vital part in the story of contemporary British art, reflecting and responding to developments in artistic practice, and supporting artists.

With its new fire-station building, and a history of shows by artists including Katharina Grosse and Lawrence Weiner, The South London Gallery is fast becoming one of the city’s most important art spaces.
