REMINDER: OPEN HOUSE 2024--> This Weekend: Sunday, REMINDER: OPEN HOUSE 2024--> This Weekend: Sunday, 15th September 12-5pm On Sunday 15th September, our building will open its doors to offer an insight into the history of the building as part of Open House Festival 2024. The Chisenhale Works building — now Chisenhale Art Place — was bought by Tower Hamlets Council in 1972 and leased to a group of artists. The derelict remains of Chisenhale Works provided unconventional hope for the founding artists and dancers who were evicted from their former studios at Butlers Wharf in 1980. The artists refurbished the building themselves over a period of 2 years, using cinder blocks to build studio walls. For Open House Festival, CAP will be presenting an exhibition of its archive, with photographs, floor-plans , documentation and publicity from the last 40 years, as well as opening its doors to a selection of its artists studios. 🔗 Please see the link in bio for more information about the history of the building, the event and accessibility. 📍 Chisenhale Art Place, 64-84 Chisenhale Rd, E3 5QZ @opencity_uk #OpenHouseFestival

Chisenhale Studios would like to say a huge thank Chisenhale Studios would like to say a huge thank you to @chromatic.agency for their fascinating contribution to the legacy of our building during their residency in Studio 4. Chromatic Agency is a collaborative project between architectural designer Sandy Rompotiyoke and artist nnull that focuses on decolonising space and reclaiming agency. Their work investigates how political structures and value systems inform how we engage with material cultures, landscapes and ecology. They are primarily positioned against economic issues of capitalism, colonialism and neoliberalism and structural issues of modernism. During their residency at Chisenhale Art Place, Chromatic Agency has been exploring these themes through material investigations based around Tower Hamlets Cemetary Park. "Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is a well-loved 31-acre nature reserve nestled in the heart of East London and is one of its ‘Magnificent Seven’ cemeteries. The cemetery park is an important space for the heritage of working class communities and people of colour. This is because of its proximity to notable sites such as the Docklands, the Bow Road Workhouse and the long-forgotten Chinatown that once existed in Limehouse. Whilst the population of those buried in the cemetery is as diverse as the history of migration in London, only the graves of long deceased wealthy white anglicans are currently visible as they are made of stone. A majority of the burials for working class and global majority people were marked with wooden markers meaning that their histories degraded and became less visible over time. As a result of the varying biodegradability of burial markers in the cemetery, certain communities are not as visibly documented in the rich history of the cemetery." Please follow @chromatic.agency to keep up to date with their upcoming projects informed by their time at Chisenhale Studios. 📍Chisenhale Art Place, 64-84 Chisenhale Rd, E35QZ 📷 Chromatic Agency, 2024
Studio 4 Residency 🪟 @sara.heywood is a mixed Studio 4 Residency 🪟 @sara.heywood is a mixed media artist, based in East London. Intrinsic to her practice is a collaborative dialogue between people and place and the point where natural and manmade environments and materials converge or impact one another. For Chisenhale Studio 4 Summer Residency 2024, Sara plans to explore the boundaries of experimental analogue photographic developing processes using locally sourced natural and found materials. The residency will also research and take inspiration from the work of the late photographer and collagist Nigel Henderson, who lived at 46 Chisenhale Road in the 1940s and 50s.
