ArtEvol 2025: Voices from the Undefined

Now available in print or digital format from London Art Collective: LAC, the ArtEvol 2025 publication with an introductory text by curator Nelson Qin.

This beautifully produced book highlights the practices of artists who exhibited in ‘ArtEvol 2025: Voices from the Undefined’ at Saatchi Gallery, London in 2025. Being selected as a finalist for the show was a highlight of last year.

‘… participating artists in this exhibition come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and their practices span images, installations, sound, texts, and mixed media. Their commonality lies not in form but in a continuous exploratory attitude: how to find the relationship between oneself and the environment in an unstable world; how to generate new narratives through art; how to resist being defined. Their works either focus on contemplating the structure of memory, identity, and flow, or making marginalised experiences visible again. These themes of creation and exhibition form a kind of intertextuality and also constitute different aspects of our future possibilities……The reason for choosing this theme is that in the highly systematised, labelled, and algorithmic cultural context of today, there are still many practices that cannot be fully integrated by language, institutions, or markets. They occur on the periphery, develop within unstable contexts, and respond in their own ways to social pressures, global mobility, technological intervention, and ongoing changes in identity. These practices remind us that art is not only an outcome but also a process; becoming itself is a positive aesthetic and political posture…” Nelson Qin
