Held in London’s ExFed space from the 9th to the 12th November, ‘Random Artists Present…’ comprised four days of art and culture from across the independent stratum, intended as a warm up for a ‘proper’ squatted Temporary Autonomous Art event in London (planned for 2017).
Featuring a large and eclectic open access gallery of painting, photography, sculpture, printing and multimedia work, info and merchandise stalls, a well-nourished social space, and workshops and talks throughout, the event also played host to a number of themed evenings, covering spoken word, film, live music (hosted by Crux and Music Day UK), AV, and other performance.
All in all, ‘Random Artists Present…’ was a hugely enjoyable, immensely inspiring, and truly grassroots event, drawing together the talents of numerous creators and provocateurs to demonstrate by example that art can and should be accessible to all. I for one can’t wait for next year’s return to a larger, squatted Temporary Autonomous Art event – get involved!
