Beers.Lambert is proud to be 1 of 6 galleries invited to participate in the prestigious Joze Art Fair at the remarkable new gallery situated in the recently restored Battersea College Library in Southwest London.
The nature of the space immediately inspired and informed our curatorial decisions; A History Revisited presents a collection of contemporary young artists who incorporate aspects of traditional form and content into the nature of their practice, while subverting this with a contemporary sentiment and – in some instances – radical take on their source material. Together, the artists speak to the idea that there may be any one particular ‘history of art’, and also to a number of the canonical archetypes found in this regard, with a tendency toward deconstructing conventions of representation, ideologies, and processes.
