We are all held in a world of plasma screens, the internet, mobile phones, and the zeitgeist of global money markets. Where images, information, and gratification are instantly accessible. The London Group, an artists’ collective from the early 20th century, is a peripatetic organisation which is now exhibiting at the Linden Hall Studio.
Many illustrious names have joined the group throughout its history. The shape of the group alters and moulds to its contributing members, with a flexibility ensuring the group’s longevity. Despite the name, the majority of members are from elsewhere, foreign-born or the children of immigrants. Thus, there is no brand to sell other than a guarantee of quality; yet we easily exhibit a variety of styles as eclectic as the city’s agglomeration that the group calls home. A parallel can be drawn between towns and architecture: which is more spectacular – the Eiffel Tower or the city of Paris? People may visit and marvel at the Eiffel Tower, but they go to live in Paris, and without Paris, who would have the opportunity to see the Eiffel Tower.
The few artists who dominate the art world and their dealers use art as the icing on the capitalist cake. In this world of the spectacle, the London Group represents quality. Therein lies the value and strength of the London Group. It does not rely on spectacle but on cooperation and value placed upon its members’ contributions, which produces something far greater than the sum of its parts. You will experience a diverse range of media and styles at the exhibition. Encompassing the inclusivity of all that is happening in the contemporary art world, where you, as the visitor and viewer, can select your own star attractions.
