Max Dovey named in 2012 Catlin Guide

Congratulations to Wimbledon College of Art Time-Based Media graduate, Max Dovey, who has been named in the 2012 Catlin Guide.

Launched at the London Art Fair on 18 January, the 2012 Catlin Guide showcases what its editor, Justin Hammond, claims are Britain’s 40 most promising artists. The guide exhibits the 40 artists’  latest work and details future exhibitions, projects and aspirations for the coming year.

Dovey, who graduated from WCA in July 2011, is a performance artist. One of his previous performance pieces, includes the Emotional Stock Market (pictured above), which was presented as part of the 2011 Fine Art Degree Show. The Emotional Stock Market is where happiness, sadness and love can be bought and sold. The emotional data is streamed from Twitter, creating a live visualisation in the marketplace.
