Now in its third year, IN:SIGHT has established itself as a bastion of breaking talent, and continues to attract both emerging and established artists, as diverse in their work as they are united by their level of accomplishment in their respective fields. It is a great source of pride for all concerned to present this year’s line-up, whose collective talent and commitment have allowed us to create one of our most enthralling Summer Exhibitions to date. Through the past twelve months of momentous political, social and cultural changes globally, art has proved a constant; a warmly welcomed source of stability and solace. As such, much has been reported by key industry figures that highlights the resilience of the art market in the face of such an uncertain climate. With an eye on the 2017 international calendar, it has proved a busy year to date, with the Venice Biennale, Documenta and Skulptur Projekte Münster being held in rare alignment. We will continue to see compelling exhibitions throughout the remainder of the year in response to – or, arguably, in defiance of – the ongoing issues we face as a global community. Whilst looking to the future, we must not forget to consider past events and, it is with that in mind, that I invite you to read more about our ‘success stories’ from last year’s Summer Exhibition in the coming pages. It is extremely heartening to see artists come through our Creative Review programme and proceed to achieve the recognition they deserve from critics and collectors alike. I believe we will see similar levels of success from the artists featured in this year’s Summer Exhibition, and I look forward to recounting their achievements this time next year.
