Moving Grounds: 15 Years of Duchamp & Sons
Moving Grounds: 15 Years of Duchamp & Sons is an original exhibition curated by Whitechapel Gallery’s youth collective Duchamp & Sons, with artist Holly Graham, and Amelia Oakley (Curator: Youth Programmes, Whitechapel Gallery).
The exhibition marks the collective’s 15-year anniversary, and with it a generation of artistic experimentation during a period of unprecedented pressure on arts education, funding, and young people.
Founded in its current form in 2010, Duchamp & Sons is a collective of young people aged 15-24 from in and around East London who meet regularly at Whitechapel Gallery to collaborate with each other and guest contemporary artists on creative projects. Prioritising those from backgrounds underrepresented in the arts, the group aims to offer a supportive and participatory space for members to connect with their creative and critical voice, and to discover more about possible pathways in visual art.
This new exhibition will be a celebration of Duchamp & Sons far-reaching and ever-evolving artistic collaborations, past and present, and a timely reminder of the crucial need for young people’s voices in gallery spaces.
