Temporary Autonomous Art – LONDON
Wednesday 2nd – Sunday 6th May 2018
Random Artists, cohorts and comrades gathered in the Big Smoke for a freewheeling open-access art festival extravaganza. It was stressful but also rewarding, and a crazy time was had by all!
Thanks to everyone who came and contributed – put up artwork, drove vans, squatted space, swept floors, served drinks, minded the artwork, did the door, cooked food and partied with us!
Against all odds the event went ahead pretty much on schedule and the move to a second building could not have happened without all the support that came through when we needed it most.
Keep your eyes and ears out for any future TAA rumblings, but in the mean time check out these photographs of the 2018 event!

Some info about Temporary Autonomous Art
TAA exhibitions are creative spaces that are organised and constructed by the artists themselves. They operate under an open-access policy, meaning everyone is free to exhibit their work or perform. Time-honoured art forms sit comfortably amongst digital work, sculptures, installations, films, performance and music. We encourage artists and audience to find their own level of creative involvement and believe that all of our voices are equally important.

What is a TAA?
TAA is an underground festival of creativity that has been taking over venues across the UK since 2001. It was an initiative by Random Artists to use free-party tactics to open temporary arts and social spaces in occupied and often derelict buildings.
TAA exhibitions are creative spaces that are organised and constructed by the artists themselves. They operate under an open-access policy, meaning everyone is free to exhibit their work or perform.
Time-honoured art forms sit comfortably amongst digital work, sculptures, installations, films, performance and music.
We encourage artists and audience to find their own level of creative involvement and believe that all of our voices are equally important.
This not only opens the doors to a no-cost space to exhibit within but also encourages first-timers and the artist within us all. All contributions are welcome and there is no celebrity here – our aim is to break free of the sterile nature of traditional galleries and instead create a space which removes barriers between art, artist and audience.
