About the Exhibition

Carl Freedman presented Jennifer Lauren Gallery, showcasing seventeen international, distinct contemporary practices, revealing a diverse collection of art forms including drawing, painting, ceramics, embroidery and found object sculptures.

The title To all the Kings who have no Crowns (taken from a Kate Bradbury artwork) represented the seventeen self-taught and disabled artists chosen who, despite being skilled artists, are yet to receive the recognition they rightly deserve within contemporary arts.

The artwork exhibited, whilst appearing highly individual upon first viewing, had many similarities in the way it was produced. Each artist revels in the creative mark making process and, whilst the finished product is important, it is the act of creation itself and being given a voice, that many of the artists value most.

The exhibiting artists were: Kate Bradbury, Éric Derochette, Robert Fischer, Joe Goldman, Hakunogawa, Nnena Kalu, Norimitsu Kokubo, Pradeep Kumar, Dan Miller, Raymond Morris, Margaret Mousseau, Chris Neate, Masao Obata, Valerie Potter, CJ Pyle, Shinichi Sawada, and Terence Wilde.
