Less than 6 days left to apply for our Studio 4 Su

Less than 6 days left to apply for our Studio 4 Summer Residency! Follow the link in our bio for more information. Application deadline is April 2nd at noon 🔊

We are inviting proposals for Studio4 Summer Residencies at Chisenhale Studios. Residencies will take place between May and September 2024, ranging between 4-6 weeks depending on your project needs (special exceptions can be made on timescales depending on need).

The residencies provide free use of the Studio4 Project Space to artists seeking a short-term studio to develop an idea or execute a project. The aim of each residency is to provide opportunity for a visual artist to experiment with new work or ideas in a fresh, uncluttered space that facilitates sharing and participation while making artistic processes visible to new audiences. The studio is 700 sq ft (5.1m width x 9.5m length), with two north facing windows.

In exchange for use of the studio, the artist undertaking each residency is expected to engage a wider artistic network as well as people who live and work in our local area, involving them in the artistic process through the development of the work itself or a small public-facing or community event, showing or workshop. Ideally smaller open-door sessions could also happen during the residency, as an opportunity to engage with other studio artists and members.

Another Sunday activity at Open Studios, 21st May!

Studio resident Merve Iseri is a member of Painting Clubb; Painting Clubb is an inclusive and nomadic platform which practices collaborative painting and drawing sessions with its participants. It holds an unfixed, shifting approach to its sessions, welcoming new participants and scenarios at each painting and drawing event. This allows for a particularly experimental and open environment that actively evolves during the sessions. The sessions hold no rules for leading the paintings or drawings in a particular direction, fostering an environment of fluidity and spontaneity.

Painting Clubb was founded by Bora Akinciturk, Canan Batur, Jennifer Ipekel, Merve Iseri, Asli Ozdemir and Tabitha Steinberg.

On Sunday 21st Painting Clubb will host a session between 12-2 pm , everybody is welcome! At Chisenhale Art Place, Education Room.

These workshops have taken place every Sunday over the last month and all works will be exhibited during Open Studios in the Education Room.

OPEN WEEKEND 19-21 May 2023

Edwin Mingard is a socially-engaged visual artist. He works principally with moving and photographic images, exhibited as standalone artists’ film and installations.

100% Sleep
2 hours - public performance, Barbican Centre - sea water, sea shanty, black and white negative - 2019

100% Sleep was a participatory performance by Edwin in collaboration with artists Angharad Davies and Katie Fiore, and musicians Roseanna Skikun and Pete Truin. Commissioned by UP Projects/FlatTime House as part of the Barbican’s Life Rewired programme, the work sought to playfully draw attention to the networks of tracking and surveillance that cover most aspects of our lives.

Merve Iseri's paintings depict inner landscapes ex

Merve Iseri's paintings depict inner landscapes exploring the modes of language using different interactions of painting methods on bare canvas. Bare canvas as a symbol for nakedness, rawness, unpreparedness (for lifes unexpectancy).

Within this ground of nakedness searching for a new language for a more possible meeting allows flexibility in the making; paintings are not following a sketch previously made. The process is intuitive and the subject matter depicts these inner landscapes. So to speak painting can be like being on a boat journey on the river of emotions, navigating, sometimes being in control of the stir and sometimes not. The work is exploring the area where abstraction and figuration meet. This allows her to develop new methods in the process. The process is similar to weaving, weaving paint and context together simultaneously. Currently her paintings follow the composition of star constellations.
