Soft Season

Iniva - Institute of International Visual Arts, London

Charlotte Cullinan and Jeanine Richards: artlab
IGLESIA UNIVERSAL

Charlotte Cullinan + Jeanine Richards work together as artlab, a collaborative partnership that creates support strategies for visual artists. Merging the functions of curator, practitioner and institution, Cullinan + Richards bring artists, audiences and artwork together in a blend of lo-fi pragmatism that is as challenging as it is prolific.

Cullinan + Richards prioritise collaboration and dialogue, seeing themselves as an 'outpost' within the art world. These strategies mean that within artlab, they can provide a platform for showing artists within their own constructions. Cullinan + Richards' typical means of exhibition is a flexible, makeshift environment that combines elements of cinema, sculpture, painting and artists' video.

For inIVA's Soft season, Cullinan + Richards construct two outdoor cinema events in the Shoreditch area, around inIVA's east London base. The screenings include a programme of artists' videos, plus a 'pre-feature' spot including three artist-made commercials for local businesses. The artists Simon Pendleton, Jo Soughan, Derek Ogbourne, and Georgie Hopton are working on specific ads for The One Pound Shop, Ron's Café, a local Grocer, and a dental practice.

Cullinan + Richards have invited the four-person collective Cambalache (Adriana Garcia, Alonso Gil, Frederico Guzman and Carolina Caycedo) to develop a project alongside the artlab open-air cinema events. Cambalache have asked people on the Boundary Estate, the location for the first cinema event, to bring their favourite music to be played during the afternoon before the film show. Cambalache hope to produce a CD from the event to be sold in aid of the Boundary Estate playground which will be rebuilt next year. (See overleaf for full details of the open-air cinema events.)

In October, Cullinan + Richards convert TheSpace@inIVA into their temporary AL free state HQ to present an archive of past works, other artists' works, and some of their collections.

artlab is part of inIVA's soft season September - December 2002

Soft is inIVA's new season of visual arts projects, bringing together a diverse selection of international artist-curated exhibitions and events. Soft is an exploration of networking, exchange, mobility and interaction, and the season presents these activities as viable strategies for contemporary art production. Crucially, Soft aims to expose the elastic and fluid nature of current visual art practice.
