Best in Show is the culmination of Pearce & Ramsey’s trawls across the United Kingdom to survey the graduate shows of summer 2008. After visiting scores of shows including institutions in Nottingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and London, their travels will conclude with an exhibition of 19 emerging artists from across the country working in a range of disciplines such as sculpture, painting and installation, whose practices reflect both curators’ personal preferences for humorous, process obsessed and provocative work. Pearce & Ramsey commented “On the twentieth anniversary of Freeze, arguably the first professional student show, it is impossible to ignore how important the 'do it yourself' ethos of Hirst et al has been in influencing the artists and curators of today. Freeze captured the zeitgeist of the 1980s and its legacy still hangs in the rafters of Britain's art schools. Best in Show is an opportunity to see how far the art produced by a new generation has changed.” Acting as a census for this year’s art graduates, ‘Best in Show’ will also feature a series of performance pieces and a panel led discussion surrounding the nature of art education today. Private View Thursday October 2nd 6 30 – 8 30 pm Exhibition continues until October 31st
