Over the past five years Launch, an artist and curatorial collaborative based in Oxford, UK, have been putting on a small programme of exhibitions and events predominantly in empty and underused spaces. This issue of the Artselector magazine has been handed over to them, and features the current work and ideas of a selection of the artists they have exhibited with over those years.

John House describes his encounter with a work by Chloe Brooks, Golden Gates & Floodlit Temples, part of the INTERFACE exhibition in Hastings.

MA Q&A. With the continual debate over the financial feasibility of studying in England, Launch poses a series of questions to four artists in order to discover their experiences and expectations of post graduate study at The Royal College of Art.

Sophie Risner reviews the current exhibition, Bold Tendencies, held on the top four floors of a disused multi-story car park in Peckham.

The man who mistook a mountain for a minaret is an intriguing short story offering an insight into the starting point for some of Matt Clark's constructions and sculptures. Matt Clark's practice is based around building fabled narratives, Clark constructs spaces and objects that are wholly reflective and often psychologically charged and mysterious, that perhaps could no longer exist without the stories they embody.

In this, the seventh of the ArtSelector 'Selected' series, we select the work of artist Mark Houghton and talk to him about how he creates his work and what his greatest influences have been.
