The Curve
Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2004 is an exciting chance to see work of 32 of Britain's best art students and recent graduates. The exhibition, an annual event established in 1949, will be in The Curve from 18 November '04 to 15 January ‘05. This year, the exhibition selectors are artists Dinos Chapman, Tacita Dean, Brian Griffiths and Kate Bush.
Connections between art and art school bands are played out in the mute cardboard drum kits of Dave Carbone while Heidi Kilpelainen's videos of a heightened eighties pop star diva HK119 screaming at the screen combines spoof and plausible authenticity. Popular references abound in a domestic restaging of scenes from Sex in the City by Oriana Fox, in which the artist plays out every character against a background of reference to women's art and artefacts and Lali Chetwynd promises a karaoke performance of Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell.
By its nature the project is fresh, lively and experimental, and provides artists with invaluable exposure at the start of their professional careers.
