Suki Chan, Tomorrow is our Permanent Address 
Jera May, The Delirium of JoyI was really excited about The David Roberts Art Foundation's Future Map 08 show - a handpicked selection of new talents from the University of the Arts London postgraduate courses. However it all felt a little... safe. Great work, good quality and all very slick, but nothing got my heart racing (as Saatchi's Four New Sensations did).
A few works stood out for me though: Suki Chan's Tomorrow is our Permanent Address featured a huge video screen with broken glasses laid out on the floor in front of it, creating a cityscape-like silhouette on the screen, which also showed giant images of broken glasses - resulting in a disconcerting 3-D effect. Jera May's huge pile of furniture featured a hidden projector which made silhouette images of seagulls flying across a kitsch oil painting hanging on the wall behind.
