CREAM3 is the latest in the acclaimed Cream series devoted to contemporary art, the third exhibition in a book to introduce 100 new and emerging artists selected by a team of renowned curators. Now a landmark biennial event, ten international curators have each selected ten artists who best exemplify the contemporary art world today and the rising stars of the future. CREAM3 offers an up-to-the-minute overview of new art in all media from painting and sculpture to installation, photography, performance, video and digital media.


Now in its third edition, “Cream 3“ offers an authoritative view on the contemporary art world for today and tomorrow. Ten international curators, renowned experts in contemporary art, have each chosen ten artists whom they feel best exemplify what is happening in the contemporary art world today, and also those who will be the stars of the future. The 100 artists in “Cream 3“ have risen to an international platform since 1997 or, in the opinion of the curators who have selected them, are about to do so. Each artist’s work is represented in two double-page spreads, accompanied by a short biography and bibliography and a text by the curator who selected them. The variety of ideas and forms in contemporary art are presented in each artist’s work alongside a brief text from the curator. This virtual exhibition of new art is preceded by a virtual conversation - an Internet discussion among the 10 curators - each a noted name involved in the staging of new developments in art. New to this edition of “Cream“ is each curator’s selection of a “Source“ artist whom they feel has influenced or created the context for the new generation. These 10 “Source“ artists provide a wider historical framework in which to view the new work.
