Guts Gallery 很高兴推出 Buffer,这是一个完全由英国艺术大学的应届毕业生组成的群展。
Buffer 打算与刚刚在艺术界起步的年轻、研究生艺术家展开建设性对话。通过将这些艺术家聚集在一个空间中,Guts 希望培养出新一代的艺术家;可以自信和自主地驾驭艺术世界的一代人。
Guts 认为,传统的教育体系正在让艺术家失望:如果不向艺术家传授任何有关艺术业务的知识,又如何期望他们在艺术世界中成长和发展。通过整个展览期间的一系列研讨会、会议和辅导,Guts Gallery 希望传授在艺术世界中航行和作为艺术家茁壮成长所需的基本技能和知识。Guts 还愿意为艺术大学提供“缓冲”课程,教艺术学生如何与画廊互动、开具发票和定价工作等,这样当他们完成学业并进入艺术世界时,他们就不会孤军奋战为他们自己。
Buffer 号召收藏家投资于年轻的新兴艺术家。它提醒我们在早期阶段培养令人兴奋的人才和潜力,扩大和多样化收藏,并在艺术家的职业生涯初期与他们建立有意义的支持关系。
目前,许多艺术家因为缺乏艺术商业方面的知识而受到剥削。Guts 力求创造一个艺术世界,在这个世界中,艺术家可以通过了解自己的价值并有信心与反映这种价值的画廊建立公平公正的关系而茁壮成长。

Guts Gallery is excited to present Buffer, a group show consisting exclusively of recent graduates from arts universities in the UK.
Buffer intends to open up a constructive dialogue with young, post-graduate artists just getting their start in the art world. By bringing these artists together in one space, Guts hopes to foster a new generation of artists; a generation that can navigate the art world with confidence and autonomy.
Guts believes that the traditional education system is failing artists: how can artists be expected to grow and develop within the art world if they are not taught anything about the business of art. Through a series of workshops, meetings and tutorials throughout the exhibition’s duration, Guts Gallery wants to impart the essential skills and knowledge required to navigate the art world and thrive as an artist. Guts is also willing to offer a ‘buffer’ course to arts universities to teach art students how to interact with galleries, create invoices and price work etc. so that when they finish their studies and arrive within the art world they are not left to fend for themselves.
Buffer is a callout to collectors to invest in young, emerging artists. It is a reminder to nurture exciting talent and potential in its early stages, to broaden and diversify collections and build meaningful, supportive relationships with artists at the beginning of their careers.
At present, many artists are exploited because they lack knowledge about the business side of art. Guts seeks to create an art world in which artists can thrive by knowing their own value and having the confidence to build fair and equitable relationships with galleries that reflect this value.
