Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2015 has announced the three selectors who will be choosing the artists for this year’s exhibition. They are: Hurvin Anderson, Jessie Flood-Paddock and Simon Starling.
Starling, winner of the 2005 Turner Prize, was a selector for the 2014 exhibition alongside Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Goshka Macuga and Enrico David, but had to pull out.
All three of this year’s selectors have featured in New Contempories: Anderson in 2002, Flood-Paddock in 2006 and Starling in 1994.
The annual Bloomberg New Contemporaries show, now in its 66th year, accepts submissions by final-year undergraduates, postgraduates and artists one year out of postgraduate study. The deadline is 8 February.
After two selection rounds the artists for this year’s exhibition will be announced in June.
New Contemporaries director Kirsty Ogg said: “Since 1949 New Contemporaries has provided a professional, critical platform beyond the context of art school for new artists’ work.
“Working across a wide variety of approaches to making, selected artists will continue to reflect new developments coming through in contemporary art in the UK today.”
The 2014 Bloomberg New Contemporaries exhibition has just finished at the ICA, London, having opened in September 2014 in Liverpool.
