Q-Art London launched in November 2008 as a forum for critical exchange, networking and
peer-review for visual art and visual culture students and graduates from across London’s major art schools.

A potential ‘autonomous art school’ in the making, Q-Art London has been holding monthly convenors across London’s art universities, inviting students to present and discuss work in a critical, peer-reviewed environment.

Q-Art London presents… is the first exhibition showcasing this unique convenor-led collective
of artists. Displaying new works by the 41 artists who presented at one of the six convenors
throughout the year, this exhibition presents the opportunity to view recent work, participate,
and listen again to the convenor presentations through film documentation.

Q-Art London presents… is a unique insight into a continuous verbal and visual critical
commentary between a previously disparate range of young artists. To promote this valuable
exchange, a series of events will also take place across the period of the exhibition. Working across photography, sculpture, painting, film and mixed media installation, the exhibition offers an opportunity to experience the growing momentum of a forum that breaks down traditional institutional barriers. Q-Art London provides an alternative and additional learning environment to the institution; it econstructs boundaries between various art schools as well as their departments and levels of study; and provides a forum where graduates of these colleges can continue to present and critically discuss work.

“It is hoped that by creating a London-wide system of peer review and critical exchange,
criticality will take a lead role in determining future successful artists as opposed to market
forces.”

Sarah Rowles, Director Q-Art London
