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.

WAKE (visible tracks of turbulence) saw six artists take over Dilston Grove, London in a sequence of week-long residencies.

ARCHIPELAGO was a mixed exhibition of installation and performance at Cafe Gallery, London.

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.
Produced by Artsadmin and Xenoki as part of What on Earth?, a series of artists' films exploring the state of species.
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.
