런던의 비영리 현대미술화랑 Chisenhale Gallery, The Showroom and Studio Voltaire 세 곳에서 2014년 4/5월간 세 artist commissions를 연다. 이번 전시에는 그들의 신작 협업 프로젝트 <같이 일하는 법>이 발표될 예정이다.

공동작업은

The collaboration results from a pioneering joint application for match-funding granted by Arts Council England and is supported in its first year by Bloomberg, Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Outset Contemporary Art Fund. The initiative will present nine new artist commissions over the next three years across the three London galleries, all responding to the question: How to work together?
The artists who have been commissioned in the first year are Ella Kruglyanskaya at Studio Voltaire (11 April – 8 June), Gerry Bibby at The Showroom (30 April – 21 June) and Céline Condorelli at Chisenhale Gallery (2 May – 22 June). These will be the first solo exhibitions in UK








Ella Kruglyanskaya (lives and works in New York) is best known for her exuberant paintings of women. Depicted in a somewhat cartoon-like style in a range of scenarios, the artist’s work parodies representations of female sexuality and social interaction. Kruglyanskaya’s women are friends and ‘frienemies’, down at the beach, out-and-about, running from a menacing presence: enforced neighbours butting against each other in the tight space of the stretched canvas. This new body of work is in direct response to the proposition ‘how to work together’ and will include a large mural made in situ at Studio Voltaire, works on paper and oil paintings focused on women engaged in work

Gerry Bibby (lives and works in Berlin) will take up ‘residence’ at The Showroom in the lead up to and during his exhibition. Going behind the scenes, he will interrogate the organisation and commission itself by assuming a position that shifts the traditional artist/institution dynamic. From here Bibby will explore the possibilities and limitations of such a dynamic and probe the idiosyncrasies of the organisation’s apparatuses. The project will focus, in particular, on The Showroom’s heating system, the ebb and flow of which provides warmth and a generative tissue throughout the building and the community within it. Bibby’s interventions will explore social modes of production, shifts in function, and forms of intimacy, intrusion and estrangement. He will also be editing his manuscript, a major long-term publishing project, which will continually inform the development of the show.

Céline Condorelli (lives and works in London) will present a new project that considers friendship as a condition for working together. For her exhibition, she is constructing a series of furniture-like objects, which will act as support structures for conversations and interactions within the gallery.
Condorelli’s work is concerned with how all human action takes place amidst countless support structures - emotional, legal or physical, for example - mostly taken for granted, and therefore often appearing invisible. Friendship is conceived by Condorelli as a political relationship of allegiance and responsibility and her exhibition will open with a preview on International Workers Day, 1 May 2014.




The Showroom is a space for contemporary art that operates on the intersections between art, research and participation. For 30 years, we have supported artists to stage their first solo shows in London and been a pivotal force in the development of contemporary practice. A key aspect of our work is a commitment to the Church Street area through Communal Knowledge, an ongoing programme of artists’ projects produced in collaboration with local groups. → www.theshowroom.org



Studio Voltaire is a leading independent contemporary arts organisation; our main activities are the provision of affordable studios, a renowned programme of exhibitions, performances and commissions, and a pioneering education programme – Not Our Class. We place the artist at the centre of everything we do: providing opportunities to produce work in an open and discursive environment and allowing a closer relationship between the artist, production and audience. → www.studiovoltaire.org

How to work together results from Chisenhale Gallery, The Showroom and Studio Voltaire  being awarded a Catalyst grant of £210,000 from Arts Council England to create a joint  commissioning and research programme over three years 2013–2016. The 2014 commissions programme receives additional support from Bloomberg and Outset Contemporary Art Fund. The How to work together Think Tank is supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation.



How to work together is supported by a grant of £210,000 over three years from Catalyst: a £100 million culture sector- wide private giving investment scheme aimed at helping cultural organisations diversify their income streams and access more funding from private sources. The scheme is made up of investment from Arts Council England, Heritage Lottery Fund and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Over the next three years we will match these funds through private donations and sponsorship.
