UAL | Arts SU | XHIBIT 2017

Xhibit 2017

Run by Arts SU, Xhibit 2017 is open to all students, studying at any level, across all disciplines. Opening on 21 April Xhibit will feature 32 artists from across all of UAL’s six world-leading colleges.
The largest provider of talent into the creative industries, UAL was recently ranked number 6 in the world for art and design. Xhibit 2017 will provide a snapshot of just some of the talent that has helped affirm UAL as a world leader in creative education.
From a mixed media installation exploring the lack of individualism across social media, to photography questioning ethical eating, and illustration demonstrating the way modern women’s bodies are portrayed – each artist has been hand selected by an expert panel of artists, curators and creative industry professionals.

 

Joining the judging panel is UAL Chancellor and Turner Prize winner, Grayson Perry, who describes this year’s Xhibit collection as:

“Stylish. A lot of the work has real panache. It’s good to see that young people still surprise you and do stuff that you might want to look at again. I was looking for artists who showed dedication, application and skill. And for those that had visual poetry.

People need to come to Xhibit to take the temperature of where young people are at. That’s what I’m interested in – for my own selfish purposes! I’m curious about what’s going on in the young collective mind.”

 

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Xhibit is also proud to have partnered with leading digital media company, Refinery29. Global executive creative director and co-founder, Piera Gelardi will award one UAL Xhibit artist with the R29 Vision Award, intended to celebrate diversity and original thought.
The R29 Vision Award winner will be specially selected to work on an exclusive project in collaboration with Refinery29.
All Xhibit artists will be recorded as future suppliers for Refinery29; offered a supporting professional development workshop programme run by Arts SU and will each receive a year’s membership to the V&A.
