It’s that time again, when the annual Free Range festival rolls into town and takes over the Old Truman Brewery’s massive 11-acre site. Showcasing some of the finest (and sometimes not so fine…) new graduates, the event goes on for a lengthy two months and sees Brick Lane become a big old art party. With some 2,200 students exhibiting, Free Range attracts pretty much anyone in the UK scene – gallerists, dealers, students’ family and friends and those who’ve just wandered in unexpected. This particular festival is the 6th and with it being the hottest summer since who knows when, it’s going to be jam-packed. Many of these students are fresh out of colleges like Goldsmiths, Ravensbourne, Central St Martin’s and Camberwell, so talent is bound to be strong. In fact, standards are so high this year, that one graduate, Aowen Jin (Goldsmiths) has already been commissioned to paint the Queen.
