LONDON – Christie’s announces an open call to London-based artists to participate in “Next at Christie’s: London 2022”, a physical and virtual non-commercial exhibition of work by the next generation of artists, which will take place in January 2022. The call for artists is open until 9 November and follows the appointment of two London-based curators, Sasha Shevchenko and Pia Zeitzen, who met while undertaking an MFA Curating at Goldsmiths University. They subsequently formed a curatorial collective, co-developing a practice focused on transcribing theoretical notions into exhibitions as collaborative settings. Additionally Christie’s Education has awarded Sasha and Pia scholarships, alongside two further curatorial candidates, on the Christie’s Education Art Business Masterclass Certificate.
Sasha Shevchenko and Pia Zeitzen, Co-curators Next at Christie’s: “As an existing curatorial collective of two international and recently graduated curators, we are excited to have been appointed by Christie’s for this opportunity. Next at Christie’s: London 2022 not...only allows us to experiment with our own practice, but enables us to connect individuals, build a community and provide a space of expression for a diverse group of artists. The concept of this upcoming exhibition will address the absurdity of contemporary reality by letting it infiltrate its artistic and curatorial expression. In doing so, it aims to collectively envision alternative modes of meaning-making.”
The exhibition presents an exciting opportunity for emerging curators and artists looking to jumpstart their careers in the art world. Applicants must not be represented by a commercial gallery and must either be currently studying or have graduated within the last five years. Christie’s welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, and are looking for candidates who represent ‘new’ talent.
