The David Roberts Art Foundation is delighted to launch its Curators’ Series with its first guest curator, Cylena Simonds. The Curators’ Series aims to support international curators with unique vision by commissioning projects for the Foundation.

At Your Service engages the dynamics of the service and hospitality industries in today’s political and social climate and brings together works from emerging international artists: Raúl Ortega Ayala, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson, Susan Collis, Yara El-Sherbini, David Ersser, Mauricio Guillén, Graham Hudson, Gayle Chong Kwon, Harold Offeh, Nada Prlja, Ana Prvacki, Manuela Ribadeneira, Paul Rooney.

In a unique opportunity to experience work by a diverse range of artists, At Your Service examines aspects of the service industries such as construction, cleaning and catering as ways of addressing belonging, patterns of migration and the less than distinct roles of host/guest.

The exhibition is produced alongside a distinctive free publication as well as an ambitious programme of performances, talks and events including film screenings in collaboration with Birkbeck Cinema.

The David Roberts Art Foundation is a registered charity initiated in 2007 by collector David Roberts and directed by Vincent Honoré. It is dedicated to promoting contemporary art by commissioning international artists and curators. Through its programmes, the Foundation encourages collaborations and aims to act as a platform for artistic dialogues. The next curators invited to participate in the Curators’ Series will be Raimundas Malasauskas (October 2009) and Mihnea Mircan (April 2010).
