ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere, Nelson Hernandez

ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere

Group exhibitionSaatchi Gallery2 Oct – 10 Oct 2026

In October 2026, London Art Collective will present ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere, a large-scale international group exhibition bringing together artists working across different cultures, disciplines and lived realities. Through an international Open Call, the exhibition seeks works that reveal how differently the same world can be seen, understood and represented.

The title begins with a simple contradiction: no one can see from everywhere. Every perspective is shaped by where we stand, what we have experienced and the structures through which we encounter the world. Rather than searching for a single, universal point of view, the exhibition places different positions alongside one another. Some may overlap; others may disagree or remain unresolved. Together, they form a view that belongs to no single person or place.

The exhibition will be presented through a salon-style display within the white cube. Works will appear in close proximity, creating unexpected connections across geography, medium and subject. Painting, sculpture, installation, photography, moving image, digital media and interdisciplinary practices are all welcome. The aim is not to flatten these differences into a shared message, but to allow each work to retain its own position while becoming part of a wider conversation.

Curated by Nelson Qin and organised by London Art Collective (LAC), A View from Everywhere will be selected by an international jury of curators, artists, critics and scholars. The jury will consider the clarity of each artist’s practice, the strength of the work and what it brings to the exhibition as a whole. The exhibition does not set out to offer a complete picture of the world. Instead, it asks what might become visible when many partial views are brought together.
