We’re thrilled to be re-starting our #Studio4 Su

We’re thrilled to be re-starting our #Studio4 Summer Residencies tomorrow (!), when we welcome this year’s first artist @georgehill_baker

George Hill-Baker's Studio4 residency engages with materiality as a means of exploring precariousness, irony, and the subjectivity of success. Using a series of previously created digital works as reference, he will embark upon a process of translation as their digital figures, forms and textures become physical. This will be an experimental process, embracing both quotidian and more precious materials, which playfully considers how different materialities represent and reimagine the digital subject matter.

During his residency, George will host a two-part session with @unioftheartslondon students; a hands-on workshop using the plaster technique of #Scagliola and a follow up discussion on how materiality can be used to communicate concepts within practice.

The work created over the course of the residency will be presented as an #OpenStudio 29-30 May. Due to Covid-19 restrictions capacity is limited and visitors will need to book a timed slot in advance, which can be accessed via the link in bio.

In December @intothewildchisenhale and @chisenhale

In December @intothewildchisenhale and @chisenhalestudiosprogramme hosted ‘Methods, Tools, Practices Experiences: A Sharing Workshop on Taking Artist Development Online’.

We asked all the contributors to put together some written reflections, instructions and other information, to serve as a reminder of the variety of work and approaches that the workshop encompassed, and that hopefully can also be used as a tool to inspire our future practices when working together online.

We have brought these materials together, with drawings made over the two days by Rebekka Yallop and other visual documentation.

Posted @withregram • @intothewildchisenhale Thanks all that came to the second day of 'Methods, Tools, Practices, Experiences: A Sharing Workshop on Taking Artist Development Online', Again it was brilliant to swap, share & connect on the different ways artists have worked out to support each other & continue conversations at a distance online. Today we had sessions led by @collectivestudionbp @alt_mfa #MycoLective #SyllabusVI (@wysing.arts.centre) @grad.job / @always_under_construction_hrm & @schoolofthedamned

Here is a lovely drawing by ITW artist @rebekka.y documenting the activity led by @jmschofield & @soniaelizabethbarrett with some cam off movement / stillness & breathing, plus porch sitting conversations on the climate crisis & the way artists can do more to protect trees.

Posted @withregram • @intothewildchisenhale For the last phase of this years ITW, which like everything has had its share of flexing & moving, the artists have decided to explode one of their earlier mechanisms for keeping in touch to make a long term postal collaboration. The tiny letter was a way to reflect on the sessions at the start of the year, packed with food for thought & rethinking itself, led by a host of different artists & practitioners. It has been digital but operated on a respond & pass it on system. So now we are making little experiments of our own & posting & passing them onto the next artist to make work in response. Reflecting together too about the things we've learnt & talked about through the programme.

Starting off @niklasg33 had a deep dive zoom journey into his mattress, the result of a workshop with @flora.hunt ~

@sophie_chapman wrote a (de)script(ion) as Niklas termed it of the performance to camera that tried to make (non)sense of his dive between the sheets & internet space

Keep an eye out for more postal experiments as they emerge.

The writing describes an obscured imagining of what the person could be doing in the mattress, what the other screen is showing & the squeaking feedback of zoom interference]

We were delighted to hear today that former @intothewildchisenhale participant 2019 @ufuoma.essi has been awarded this year’s Postgraduate Artist Residency at South London Gallery. We wish her all the best for this exciting opportunity! 👏👏

#artsistdevelopment #alternativeartseducation

Posted @withregram • @southlondongallery We are delighted to announce that the SLG's tenth Postgraduate Artist in Residence is video artist and filmmaker Ufuoma Essi. 🎉

From Lewisham, south east London, Essi works predominantly with film and moving image as well as photography and sound. Her work revolves around Black feminist epistemology and the configuration of displaced histories. The archive forms an essential medium for her as an artist and it is through explorations of the archive that she aims to interrogate and disrupt the silences and gaps of the historical narrative.

Visit our website to learn more about Essi's practice and the Postgraduate Residency.

“Plants tap into Earth’s primal source of ener

“Plants tap into Earth’s primal source of energy. Essentially they eat light, and all animal life sucks in turn on their green teats. Fungi, by contrast, grow well in the dark, and consume the dead. Since the earliest beginnings of life on land though, they’ve been working together. Fossilised plants dating from some 400 million years ago show well preserved structures that look identical to modern arbuscules, the most common form of mycorrhizal association, characterised by the presence of hyphae that penetrate the root cells and form highly branched structures.”

- Extract from @feralpractice’s presentation on plant sentience, #mycorrhizal association and attention to plants, which was part of the first online weekend programme of #MycoLective, 10-12 July.

Although the programme sessions are for the participants only, we are compiling an evolving reading list of texts, films and sound files, to share the themes and ideas being explored and discussed. You can currently access this via the home page of our website - link in bio.

Posted @withregram • @samhodgeart

Just spent an intense and inventive weekend getting to know the other #mycolective @chisenhalestudiosprogramme artists and work out ways of connecting with each other and the wider environment in fruitful and supportive ways. A big thank you to @amajosephine and @feralpractice for inventing, organising and facilitating the weekend in these virtual times. And to all of you for being so honest, committed and generous @_linda_persson_ @mossy.soft.spot @soniaelizabethbarrett @jmschofield @rhonaeve @healiotrope. I look forward to some hot composting with you over the coming year!

This is the last of my #mycolective takeover posts

This is the last of my #mycolective takeover posts.
4 years ago I started a project to walk around the coast of England and Wales. Walking the edge, beating the bounds, tracing the skin of the country. The edge that defines it, but also a porous site of exchange and flow. A place constantly in flux, changing from tide to tide and shifting over years. It is a place where human efforts to control and defend against both other humans and the sea are very apparent, but so is the power of water and weather.

These three photos were taken on these walks.

Image 1: On the north bank of the Thames near Tilbury there has been a long history of dumping waste from London into landfill sites. At the edge of one of these sites the Thames has carved a bank, revealing a stratum of plastic debris.

Image 2: The coast path here peters out in the middle of an active landfill site. Walking over this was a weird and unforgettable experience. The bare earth seemed unnaturally giving, almost bouncy with a smell like distant rotting prawns rising from it. And warm like flesh, or did I imagine that?

I have been beginning to address waste in my work. What does it mean to throw things away? Where is away? One person’s waste is another persons treasure (and visa versa). I am starting to use waste in my work and thinking about the wastefulness of the art world.

Image 3: View from the White Cliffs of Dover. Asking lots of questions about our relationship to land and to others.

Founder member Ian Chapman speaks: As one of the m

Founder member Ian Chapman speaks: As one of the more recent contributors to #40yearsofchisenhale I have the benefit of having read all of the preceding postings. I recall with pleasure many of the activities and events that others have reminisced about, including fish finger butties and warming 'builders brews' in the makeshift 'canteen'; the events and parties that (apparently) I played into big style; and getting pissed on the whisky that we bought in for Arts Place Trust Directors' meetings (I think we were of the opinion in those days that Board member types always drank whisky when discussing important issues and making big decisions)'. Also, of course, the chain gangs of ‘founding members' shuttling Thermolite building blocks up the stairway. Not just any stairway, by the way, but a rather fine example of Art Deco steel cast railings and polished marble treads as I recall (probably a 'materially inaccurate' and romantically over-egged recollection).

There's an existing reference to the 'engine driven ladder hoist' used for propelling building blocks to the upper floor of the building. As one of the more (self-acclaimed) industrially experienced amongst us, I was one of the ‘chargehands’ operating this 'machine hire kit' along with Richard Wilson. I operated the controls at the loading end (street level) and Richard the receiving end (roof), with the bricks being shuttled down to the floor beneath after being stacked on the (necessarily flat) roof. On reflection, this was particularly dangerous work for me and Richard to be engaged in; with entanglement of clothing, or digits, in the machinery being a definite risk. However, the main risk wasn't so much to feet and toes, when inevitably dropping the odd block (or more likely when big bits broke off) as Richard and I both possessed Totector (or similar) boots. No! The biggest risk emanated from the barrel of ale that our neighbouring brewery owner had donated to us as a gesture of goodwill (Patrick; Black Horse Brewery, I seem to recall - a good bloke). This barrel was situated just inside the ground floor shutter doorway, and half-a-round of half-pints went up the hoist every now and again.

Artist takeover: @henri_armstrong_art - Day 7

I recently completed this mural on the roof of @jealous_london in Shoreditch

This idea comes from my work on sea defence structures that protect land from erosion by the sea. The Dolos is a South African design and the word is derived from Afrikaans. It has 2 meanings, the first refers to the knuckle-joint bones used in divination practices by Sangomas healers. The second references the ox knuckle bones used by African children playing the ancient game of Knucklebones. My intention was to play with the geometric structure of the dolos and create something that was colourful and positive during these challenging times.

Many thanks to @nick_tez @jealous_london & @benchallen for giving me access at the weekends during lockdown to complete it.

Artist takeover: @henri_armstrong_art - Day 6

Coastal erosion is the loss of coastal lands due to the breaking down & removal of sediments or bedrock from the shoreline by the sea.

It’s a natural ongoing process that has been happening for thousands of years & the transport of material away from the shoreline is balanced by new material being deposited. However as sea levels rise due to global warming the extent & severity of coastal erosion is getting worse.

If nothing is done, half of the world’s sandy beaches could disappear by 2100 due to climate change induced coastal erosion and rising seas. As global temperatures continue to rise, driven by heat trapping greenhouse gases, melting ice will raise sea levels and extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent and intensify, battering vulnerable coastlines around the world.

I love the way they interlock and passively dissipate the violent energy of the waves with their shape alone. These barriers of shapes protecting the land from the sea represent a metaphor to me of the human condition and struggles that we face.

Artist takeover: @henri_armstrong_art - Day 5

In my work I look at man-made objects and totemic structures that often have a geometric shape as well as the symbolism and power that we imbue them with. In the Autumn last year, I went on a pilgrimage to see some Dolosse in place around Torness Power station in Scotland. Being there and witnessing the sheer scale of all of these huge structures en masse was breathtaking.

Throwing Bones II @window135 - 2020

This installation came from my ongoing body of work on sea defence structures that protect land from erosion by the sea. I love the way these shapes interlock and passively dissipate the violent energy of the waves with their form alone.

This exhibition came about through conversations on exercise walks during the first lockdown. It was a strange time and I’m so grateful to @window135x to have had this to focus on ❤️ The exhibition was viewable from the street 24 hours a day and it was interesting seeing the work change with the varying light throughout the day.

Artist takeover: @henri_armstrong_art - Day 3

Celebrating International Women’s Day & Mother’s Day this week, focusing on strong women in our lives who #choosetochallenge 💕

This made me think of a collage I created of M E D U S A around the time of the birth of the #metoo movement. There is a thread through my work that has looked at female persecution throughout history and gender specific relics. The name Medusa originates from the words guardian or protector in Ancient Greek and also she turned everything that looked at her to stone. I was inspired by the story of Medusa as she is the ultimate anti heroine, demonised for her beauty by those that desired her then persecuted for being a victim, to me Medusa’s story scarily echoes the misogynistic realities of today 🐍
