Collaboration with Zabludowicz Collection
22 & 23 May 2015
150 years of collecting work by artists at the听start of their听career.听
With ever increasing interest in and opportunities for artists in the early stages of their careers,听UCL Art Museum听teamed up with 听to examine issues around collecting new and experimental art. Over this two-day symposium听academics, curators, collectors and artists came together听to interrogate听the term 'emerging' - how is it used and by whom听in relation听to contemporary art? What is the term's wider historical context?听Discussions covered economic and aesthetic value in the emerging art market; explored emerging practice and its relationship to historical narratives, archives and taxonomies; and considered how the current enthusiasm for collecting contemporary art impacts on practices that are still at a formative stage.
This symposium accompanied , an exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Zabludowicz Collection听which included significant and rarely seen works by over 30 leading artists, and听听a show that marked the reopening of UCL鈥檚 Art Museum鈥檚 main space after a programme of improvements supported by a DCMS/Wolfson award. This presented a selection of existing, newly commissioned and site specific artworks in collaboration with Slade artists created in response to the collections and the theme of re-launch.听
The programme was organised by Dr Nina Pearlman, Dr Martine Rouleau and听 from UCL and from Zabludowicz Collection.
