PILOT:2 took place at the George W. Farmiloe’s Building in Clerkenwell, once again, during the weekend of the Frieze Art Fair.

PILOT:2 saw seventy-two esteemed nominators choosing a total of eighty-four artists.

The opening party exceeded all expectations, with a massive crowd continuing to arrive late into the night. The exhibition spread out across the entire ground floor of the building from the factory out to the huge goods shed and into two specially constructed video-screening rooms. The archives were popular, being used extensively whilst people enjoyed the free coffee on hand.

We were also proud to have produced a series of four panel discussions at PILOT:2, with fantastic contributions from: Chris Hammond, Director MoT, London; Lise Nellerman, Director, Sparwasser HQ, Berlin; Dallas Seitz, Director, 1,000,000mph Gallery, London; John Timberlake, artist & writer, founder of Everything magazine and former member of BANK; Anna Harding, Chief Executive, Space Studios, London; John Readon, artist; Liliane Schneiter, Writer & Curator, Geneva; Roman Vasseur, artist; Aileen Corkery, Curator, Hauser & Wirth, London; Jessica Lack, art critic; Suhail Mailk, Lecturer, Goldsmiths College, London; and, Sally O'Reilly, writer and art critic.

PILOT:2 was co-organised by Hans Askheim, Colin Guillemet, Doriane Laithier, Rory Macbeth, Elizabeth McAlpine, and Matthew Poole.

The event was generously supported by Arts Council England, The Elephant Trust, ArtQuest, Blackwall Green Fine Art Insurance, Matthew Algie Coffee [Tiki Cafes], Keith Tyson Studio, and John Armitt Wines.
