29 June – 23 September 2012
City Gallery Prague, The Stone Bell
The exhibition includes works of 32 British artists including Matthew Burrows, Marcus Harvey, Neal Tait and Gavin Turk.
LONDON TWELVE neither aims to present this environment in its completeness, nor to chart its apex. Instead, the curator has taken a subjective approach, introducing a group of artists whose output has captured his interest over the last year. As such it gives a glimpse of what is happening from one persons viewpoint, a snapshot of a dynamic and subjective set of dispersed and interlocking artistic activities. The exhibition juxtaposes generations, as well as established and emerging artists. The works are presented aesthetically in order to take advantage of the unique character and nature of the Stone Bell building. However, there are threads and themes that run through the show, namely abstraction, identity, technology, history, and nature.
