Artsadmin provides a comprehensive producing and presentation resource for contemporary artists working in theatre, dance, live art, visual arts and mixed media. It also runs bursary and mentoring schemes and a free artists' advisory service. Its newly refurbished building, Toynbee Studios, houses a theatre, rehearsal spaces, office/studio spaces and a bar and cafe. Our funding contributes to core costs and programming in the theatre.
The Skin of My Teeth - a three year reflection
From 2010 -- 2012 Artsadmin commissioned Mark Storor to create a triptych of work that would set up a space and an offer for young and emerging artists to kick start or develop a performance practice.
Over the three years Artsadmin have supported those involved in the Summer Project and worked with film maker Chris Keenan to share the processes and ideas that took place during these special August months.
A snapshot of our projects in 2012. We've worked on a beach in Holkham, on London monuments, in a Cambridge Café, on the streets of Helsinki, in a park in Wandsworth and under the canopy of Spaghetti Junction, as well as in galleries and theatres around the world.

On 1 & 2 December Richard DeDomenici will lead an Artsadmin Weekender at Toynbee Studios. It will be a weekend of auto didactic self sabotage where risks will be calculated and failure will be embraced wholeheartedly.
It's time to take Art to the next illogical step, time to confuse the world into submission. It's futurology. It's revolution through obfuscation. This weekend you will change the world... If only a teeny bit.

The Plunge team headed down to Paternoster Square and the Occupy London Camp to open up the debate and discussion on issues raised through Plunge. Next week we will be at 7 dials - message us, get in touch and make yourself heard!

WAKE (visible tracks of turbulence) saw six artists take over Dilston Grove, London in a sequence of week-long residencies. Each artist chose the artist to succeed him or her and each responded to what had been left behind. Photographer Hydar Dewachi and film-maker Olga Koroleva were commissioned to document the evolution of the exhibition. Watch the film and download the online document with text by Rachel Withers.

ARCHIPELAGO was a mixed exhibition of installation and performance at Cafe Gallery, London. Each co-existing artist marked his or her territory, chose whether to defend themselves against the others or cooperate, to trade or start a war. Photographer Hydar Dewachi and film-maker Olga Koroleva were commissioned to document the evolution of the exhibition. Watch the film and download the online document with text by Gary Stevens.

A Becketian post apocalyptic picnic. Two women slowly sink into a fissure at the edge of a cliff. Time lapse cinematography charts their slow descent into the earth as they bravely chat on, trying figure out what went wrong, whether it was it their fault and how to keep their chins up.

The honey bee is a much loved insect that has inspired and provoked us humans in equal measure. This film takes a sideways look at the honeybee and what it means to us, discovering that there are some things that science just can't predict. Created using hand-drawn animations by Thomas Knowler which echo the labour of the honey bee.

Out of the Blue is a visual meditation on the formation of contrails as aircraft move across the sky and an acoustic contemplation on the power of silence and the beauty of blue when the sky was momentarily stilled as the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland suddenly erupted, grounding flights across Europe.

An abandoned building in the form of the Commonwealth Institute; an abandoned text in the form of Thomas More's Utopia. Through this architecture and these words, the notion of an idealised society intersects, which in this film merges a disused space with an unfulfilled vision of the future.
