The exhibition No Borders (Just N.E.W.S.*) brings together the work of 29 recently graduated artists from the art schools of 22 European countries. It has been organised by the International Association of Art Critics (AICA), in partnership with AICA’s National Sections in Ireland, Denmark, Valencia, Greece, and in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Centre, La Centrale électrique, in Brussels, and the CACT/ Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art. This exhibition aims to show something of the diversity, but also the relatedness of contemporary artistic creation in different parts of Europe, at a time when the value and the very purpose of an art school education are the subject of heated debate. The project, as a whole, takes the form of this travelling exhibition, the present catalogue and bilingual proceedings of a series of seminars : From Art School to Professional Practice.
