10 curators, 200 artists, 400 art works

What a fascinating concept. In photos, the show works wonderfully. 14x14 "The art works are uniformly 14 inches square but varied: any media, any style, high & low art, known & unknown artist, and so on. This show is about breaking boundaries.

In truly democratic style, each art work has the same amount of wall space, but each expresses the particular criteria for art of the individual artist. This show asks, of the artist and viewer: What is the state of contemporary art? Are there shared criteria by which we assess an art work? Is there a global art style to be seen?

The 200 artists, mostly London-based but from many different nationalities and backgrounds, were carefully chosen by the ten curators. 14x14 is one of the largest young group exhibitions in London and shows the direction of the next London art scene."

Anyone in America feel like trying the same - or trying an equally open-ended fiber all show?? Any media; any style - just 14? X 14"?
