London Art Collective (LAC) is pleased to announce ArtEvol 2025: Voices from the Undefined, opening at the Saatchi Gallery on 12 September 2025. The exhibition presents a dynamic group of artists whose practices explore the ever-evolving nature of contemporary art and its engagement with the complexities of today’s world.
ArtEvol 2025: Voices from the Undefined investigates artistic practice as something always in flux, emerging from tensions between technology and the body, the self and the other, and the real and the fictional. The exhibition title, EVOL, suggests reversal and renewal, highlighting how art continually reshapes its possibilities in moments of uncertainty and change. Drawing on concepts from cybernetics — including feedback, adaptation, and open systems — the works reflect artists’ responses to their environments and the times they live in.
The participating artists work across disciplines, identities, and media, speaking from undefined positions that resist validation within traditional frameworks of recognition. Their practices explore ideas of transformation, resilience, and social engagement, drawing attention to voices often overlooked — from conflict zones, marginalised communities, and regions beyond the conventional art world.
Curated by Nelson Qin and presented by LAC, the exhibition creates a dialogical space where emerging practices can be genuinely heard and equally seen — not as exceptions but as possibilities for the future itself. Visitors can expect installations, moving-image works, performance, and hybrid forms that challenge conventional understandings of artistic production.
