On the occasion of our participation at PULSE MIAMI ART FAIR this year from DECEMBER 03-06, Fred [London] Limited is delighted to announce a new and exciting direction from 2010!

During a long period of research we have been looking at work by African artists, African-American artists, and artists of African descent based in Europe. In particular, we have examined the socio-political issues facing these artists in post-colonial and western immigrant sub-cultures - including those of race, gender and sexuality. It is our belief that some of the most interesting work being made today comes from such artists; many of who have not previously exhibited in the UK. Working within a framework of race-based dynamics and differences, these artists explore notions of categorisation in their work - be it the idea of identity, nationhood, ethnicity, sexuality, religion and belonging.

At PULSE ART FAIR in Miami this December we will preview our 2010 programme with a group of significant work by artists of and from the African Diaspora. On this occasion, and ahead of a series of major monograph shows, we are delighted to announce representation of:

NINA CHANEL ABNEY (USA)

ZANELE MUHOLI (South Africa)

CONRAD BOTES (South Africa)

GODFRIED DONKOR (Ghana/UK)

Mark Fairnington has been selected to participate in DARWIN'S CANOPY at the Natural History Museum in London.

The project has been initiated by the Museum to mark the Bicentenary of Charles Darwin. The aim is to create a fitting rehabilitation of ceiling panels in the ‘inner sanctum’ of Richard Owen’s and Alfred Waterhouse’s great ‘Cathedral to Creation’ – The Natural History Museum in South Kensington.

The new work for the ceiling will be selected though an invited competition to a small number of leading artists and designers. They will have the opportunity to work with the Museum to develop their ideas. One of these proposals will be selected through the competition process, which includes a public view, and finally commissioned on the ceiling. This will be a landmark project where one leading contemporary artist will have the opportunity to make their contribution to the living heritage of this great Grade I listed building. The work will be a fusion of great art, and architecture that expresses the ongoing importance of one of the greatest and most influential ideas in science and society. The finished work will be opened on February 12th 2009.

The other short listed artists are Christine Boreland, Dorothy Cross, Alison Turnbull, United Visual Artists, Mark Wallinger, Richard Wentworth, Rachael Whiteread and Richard Woods.

The proposals can be seen at the museum until September 14th.
