The Oxford Art Gallery (Aidan Meller Galleries) is situated in Broad Street and the High Street. It specialises in modern and contemporary art by Matisse, Picasso, Chagall and Dalí.
The Aidan Meller Prize for Art Criticism 2015, prize-giving dinner at Modern Art Oxford
In February 2015 the third Aidan Meller Prize for Art Criticism was awarded at a black-tie dinner held at Modern Art Oxford.
The winner was Ailis Brennan, a Fine Art Undergraduate at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University. Her winning entry was a review of Ryan Trecartin & Lizzie Fitch’s video installation at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
The prize is run in co-operation with the Edgar Wind Society (EWS) and is open to undergraduate and postgraduate members of Oxford University. It celebrates excellence in new critical writing.

ADEBANJI ALADE DISCOVERS AIDA, THE FIRST ULTRA REALISTIC HUMANOID AI ROBOT ARTIST.
This is for my International audience who may have missed this when it was aired on the 12th of June on The One Show (BBC One)
I visited Oxford University to discover Aida, the first Ultra-Realistic Humanoid AI Robot Artist. We both took on the challenge of drawing Aiden Meller, who created Aida. Aiden also owns an amazing gallery in Oxford.
This is a new innovation and it gets all of us on the edge of our seats as the robots storm the creative world!
Hope you enjoy this short film
Works by robotic artist fetch over $1 million at debut show
(27 Jun 2019) Robots can do many things, but they can't be artists... or so we thought.
Art and imagination are often considered to be exclusively human traits, but now an artificially intelligent robot, named Ai-Da - has been coded to be create.
And her work now appears to be storming the art world.
According to Ai-Da's creator, gallery director Aiden Meller, her artworks have fetched one million British pounds (approx. $1.27 million USD) at her debut show.
This first show is a sell-out show, it's been an incredibly successful show, over a million pounds worth of work sold, says Meller.
Why? Why is that happening? Because we actually think the whole concept of the use of future technologies is paramount to the discussion of humanity, it's going to shape where we go.
Ai-Da is claimed to be the world's first ultra-realistic AI robot artist.
She's named after Ada Lovelace, a 19th century countess, thought to be the world's first computer programmer.
The cutting-edge robot was created in collaboration with robotic creators Engineered Arts, with AI algorithms created by experts at the University of Oxford.
Ai-Da can see with the help of two cameras, one in each eye, they're connected to a computer vision system which is then interrogated by an AI algorithm.
That means she's able to do portraits of people that stand in front of her.
She can also draw famous faces, if engineers upload a picture, that's then similarly interrogated by the AI algorithm.
The result is not a photo realistic drawing, instead her unique work is based on cubism, dashed lines defining a human face. The algorithm means each artwork is unique and won't be repeated by the AI.
Ai-Da's pencil is attached to a 500-year-old block of wood - a nod to Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, who died 500 years ago this year.
Ai-Da can draw, but she cannot paint... yet. But they have used coordinates from her drawings to produce paintings and sculptures.
The robot artist's debut exhibit, named Unsecured Futures, opened at the University of Oxford's Barn Gallery earlier this month.
It includes a combination of sketches of famous figures, including Da Vinci and Alan Turing, paintings and even some self-portraits, a 3D digitally rendered scan.
Meller says they hope to provoke a discussion about the future of artificial intelligence.
The whole point of this project is to engage audiences to question where future technologies are going, he says.
The advances that we're going through now with AI and biotechnology and transhumanism are going at an unbelievable pace, ethics is sadly lacking behind gravely and as a result of that we have created Ai-Da to be a voice to engage questions about where future technologies are going.
Art critics might sniff, but Meller says she's a product of her time, just like any artist.
All artists, over all time had one actual job and goal and that was to reflect the society they were in, he says.
Leonardo (da Vinci) reflected the Renaissance at the time, Andy Warhol, in the 60s, reflected manufacturing and the rise of consumerism.
The modern artists today, maybe Damien Hirst, was the excesses of the 90s. Ai Weiwei about the political situation in China. Ai-Da reflecting the technological uses that we're using today.
The big goal of art is to make us think about where we are in society.
Ai-Da's debut show at the University of Oxford's Barn Gallery is set to run till 6 July. Meller says they're busy planning her next art adventure.

'Ai-Da' The First Humanoid Robot Is Able To Draw And Prepares For First Art Exhibition
A humanoid AI robot is set to open its own exhibition of artwork in Oxford, drawn independently using a robotic arm and an inbuilt camera.
The robot, called Ai-Da after the mathematician Ada Lovelace, is said to be the first ultra-realistic robot capable of drawing people from life using her eye and a pencil in her hand, according to its creators.
Ai-Da's solo exhibition Unsecured Futures, which opens at Oxford University from June 12, will showcase a selection of the robot's work, developed using AI processes and algorithms at the university.
The artwork will include drawing, painting, sculpture and video art, exploring the boundaries between AI, technology and organic life.
'Pioneering a new AI art movement, we are excited to present Ai-Da, the first professional humanoid artist, who creates her own art, as well as being a performance artist,' said Aidan Meller, Ai-Da's brainchild and gallery owner.
Engineers in Leeds developed the robotic hand used by Ai-Da, which follows a number of stages and AI algorithms, calculating a virtual path based on what it sees in front of it and interpreting co-ordinates to create the piece of art.
'We are looking forward to the conversation Ai-Da sparks in audiences,' said Lucy Seal, researcher and curator for the project.
'A measure of her artistic potential and success will be the discussion she inspires.
'Engaging people so we feel empowered to re-imagine our attitudes to organic life and our futures is a major aim of the project.'

San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery documentation footage of Helen Redman Exhibit, March 2015
Ai-Da the robot can sketch with a pencil realistic portraits of people
The humanoid robot artist can draw subjects using a microchip in her eye, and a bionic hand - coordinated by AI processes and algorithms. Aida’s ability to draw and paint ultra-realistic portraits from sight has never been achieved before.
“But also as a performance artist she'll be able to engage with audiences and actually get messages across; asking those questions about technology today.
Ai-Da the robot has been designed and built by British company Engineered Arts. It is the brainchild of galleries owner Mr. Aidan Meller.
Ai-Da will be mixed race in appearance and will be completed this month, before her first exhibition.
