 bloomberg new contemporaries 2007
 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.The pick of the crop. Every year budding Fine Art students submit work in the vain hope that it will be selected in a UK touring exhibition that has come to display the talent and innovation emerging from our art institutions. This year, Michael Landy, Linda Norden and previous New Contemporary Nigel Cooke have selected 37 artists to watch out for. Remember, this is a showcase rather than a curated group show so no one theme runs through. Francisco Lobo dabbles in a dying artform with such freshness; Katarina Forss breathes life into her glossy paintings; Charlie Crane gives us a rare insight into North Korea and with Ian Larson's ideas of grandeur there's just no stopping the next generation. Unfortunately, most of the video works' audio bleeds from one gallery to the next, infringing on your experience with a constant interruption. That said, the tranquillity of Gemma Pardo's Congo and Charlie Tweed's humorous activist, Man From Below TV, make up for it. Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2007 is at The New Art Gallery Walsall until 02 September 07, Club Row, London from 08 October to 4 November 07 and Cornerhouse, Manchester, from 23 November to 20 January 08.
