Visual Noise
Across the weekend of the 9th - 10th April, 2022, we celebrated VISUAL NOISE at the exclusive photography space MARYLAND STUDIO in Stratford, East London. A new art fair showcasing the talent of of graduate photographers whose final shows were disrupted due to Covid-19, the 40 chosen artists showcased their work.
The chosen artist’s work is inspired by a diverse range of subjects - from personal experience, dysphoric approaches to contemporary culture, art history, and an unabashed love for art and fashion - presented across mixed media from collage to textiles, editorial and film.

We sent out an open call to the UK’s 2020-22 graduating photography class (both BA & MA) whose final degree shows were cancelled or disrupted due to the pandemic. The brief was to “be creative” within a 6ft x 6ft space at MARYLAND STUDIO and to show the public work they will not have seen before. The response was overwhelming.
Ellen Stone, CEO of Public Offerings Ltd., commented:
“VISUAL NOISE is a unique opportunity to see some of the most exciting and innovative photography work being produced today - before anyone else gets to see it. The work by these artists speak to the world we’re living in right now; 2022 through a unique lens exploring the issues that affect us today. Graduate degree shows are more than just a rite of passage, they’re a vital springboard for creative talent to get noticed and begin forging their path in the industry.
The reason we’re such strong advocates for diverse voices to be heard, and for giving them the chance to compete early on in their careers, is because if we support diverse artists now we can shape what representation looks like across the art market of the future”.
From project management and artist selection, to staffing and branding, Visual Noise was conceptualised and produced exclusively by Public Offerings Ltd.
