Circular table tennis tables, a room full of digital butterflies and an electronic musical instrument from bottles are just a few of the projects on show at START, the exhibition by Prudential and held at the Saatchi Gallery to bring the world’s emerging and new art scenes to London.

On the lower two floors, 38 galleries from across the world show the work of artists which have generally not been seen in London before while, on the top floor, START projects includes  curator-selected presentations by different galleries entitled “This is Tomorrow” and the “Eye Zone” shows emerging artists from Asia, selected from the Prudential Singapore Eye exhibition held at ArtScience Museum, Singapore this year and a series of works by Chim↑Pom, a Japanese collective which were selected as the Overall Best Emerging Artist at the Prudential.  

START projects includies the amazing immersive digital art presentation by the Japanese “Ultra-technologists” teamLab, a collaborative tf professionals from creative fields related to digital art: artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects, web and print graphic designers and editors with the aim of integrating art, science, technology and creativity.

The Saatchi Gallery and Prudential continue to bring new and emerging contemporary work to London from all round the world. START provides a snapshot of current trends – varied, imaginative, digital and sometimes political.  Most moving – and topical at the moment – is by Aida Silvertri at London’s Roman Gallery describing in words and photographs the experiences of Eritrean refugees before arriving in the UK.
