Final Exhibitors Announced

“Future Map is the best guide to discovering emerging artists and designers
with great talent, destined to break out onto the London art scene.”

Fatima Maleki

After heated debate and much deliberation the illustrious Future Map 09
selection panel have chosen 25 of the most innovative and talented young
graduates from the University of the Arts London to participate in Future
Map 09.

Hosted by 20 Hoxton Square Projects, Future Map is London’s premiere annual
exhibition of the best emerging talent from the current graduating year at
London’s creative powerhouse, University of the Arts London. Future Map has
steadily built a reputation for being the only showcase of its kind to offer
a comprehensive overview of the next generation of artists and designers who
will define our visual landscape. Works range from fine art, sculpture,
design, fashion and new media. This year a jam packed schedule of
interactive and collaborative events accompanies the exhibition in an effort
to not only show tomorrows hottest artists but to expand on why they’re
one’s to watch and how to start collecting them.

The 176 / Zabludowicz Collection Future Map Prize

This year, the 176 / Zabludowicz Collection Future Map Prize has been
founded to support a graduating student from the University of the Arts
London. Selected from the exhibition by a panel of experts, including Anita
Zabludowicz herself, artist Jeremy Deller, Nancy Durrant Arts Commissioning
Editor at The Times and Emily Pethick Director of The Showroom, the prize is
a £3,000 award and a chance to make an edition for 176 / Zabludowicz Collection.



Highlights

In Adam Dix’s series of oil and ink paintings Satellite State, he explores
the human fascination with and need for technology, by reexamining
futuristic past predictions of the 21st century. His paintings depict
domestic scenes set in an imagined future, where satellites have become
mystical objects. The focus upon telecommunications within his works
highlights the disparity between and absurdity of the human desire to
communicate and the physical isolation from others that technology engenders.

In video artist Sonny Sanjay Vadgama’s edition of his work Eye for an Eye,
which mixes both 2D and 3D visuals, the audience witnesses a series of
representations of the Beirut Hilton floating in a dark void. Like a domino
effect, one building collapses only for another to follow suit, creating an
endless cycle of destruction and regeneration. His works are often displayed
via large scale projections to fully immerse the audience in his
apocalyptical visions. Definitely one to watch, the three editions of
Sonny's striking work were all purchased by top UK collectors at his degree
show.

Elisa Strozyk has pushed the boundaries of what we expect from textiles with
her work, Wooden Carpet. Using small triangular pieces of wood that are then
hinged together she has created a work that in its ingenuity and flexibility
can be both laid flat like a traditional textile carpet and can also be
fashioned in a dramatic way to create a self supporting sculpture. Through
the half-wood, half textile carpet she plays with opposing notions such 2D
and 3D; hard and soft; the strange and familiar.

In his series of Proposal works, Craig Barnes has appropriated old and
discarded photographs and then layered his own marks upon them to suggest
comical new meanings and new ways of thinking. He prefers to use redundant
items and cheap materials to challenge the object fetishism so prevalent in
western society. Barnes feels that his works are a response to the artifice
and idiocy, glory and magnificence of modern living.

CUT, a series of animations by Kristian de la Riva uses simple, black line
drawings to depict a lone male character attempting to cut and slice away
various parts of his body. The animations were initially an autobiographical
account of the artists own loss within a relationship. At once comic and
brutal, the animations are at times difficult to watch but nevertheless
leave a powerful impression.


Momoko Suzuki’s Untitled Drawing Project consists of the artist drawing
directly onto the walls of the space that she is exhibiting in. The piece is
a continual and improvised project that grows and transforms from location
to location. The architecture of the space informs the work and also the
experience of the viewer. Momoko will be performing her work throughout the
duration of Future Map.
