manifestoTo ArtistsWe have access to use a 30ft x 50ft space to showcase work on a monthly rotation. The plan is to showcase eight artists from Camberwell College of Art and Design and four group shows throughout 2009-2010. The building itself is a Grade II listed art decoChurch by architect Edward Maufe. The attraction to this building is a clean white spacethat has not been embellished with decoration.Planning for sponsorship for advertisement and private views is our first priority. Youthe artist do not need to pay to use the space, but extra advertisement, flyer, poster etcwill have to be funded by the artist or group. We are not selling the work within the spaceitself, but this would be a good opportunity for people to see your work for futureemployment or commission.The first mile stone we hope to achieve within the first year is an association withanother institution, PM Gallery House: “West London’s premier Contemporary art space”
 
is the closest situated gallery.Our space:
•
Has the use of a large, minimalist white church that can host large showcaseexhibitions
•
A free space to use, we will locally advertise and contact galleries on behalf of theartists. Any further advertisement and specialist materials will have to be funded bythe artists.
•
To promote UAL artists who are unable to curate/fund their shows due to limitedresources
•
To distinguish a foundation and centre for networking artists, institutions andcommunities to progress from the already over saturated independent gallery idea.
•
Dedicated to aspiring artists who wish to promote their works in solo events. Therewill be a rotation of monthly artists and group shows
•
A long term project run and co-ordinated by artists
•
A fully functional church with weekly events and services that are a vital part of thecommunity

An exercise in communication and formalityArt has rules, believe it or not1.We are beyond Modernism, art no longer is the rejection of history in favour of someidiosyncratic method. We as artists have to understand our art and its relation tosituation. The space is first and foremost a church, it has had a long and productive
 
history with art, and because of this, it would be nice to retain the relationship thatcomes with it. Any proposed artwork exhibited that aims to insult/undermine anyideology will be rejected; all we require is “sensibility and integrity”. Great art maymake us nervous, but it need not insult. We aim to create purpose to our work, Nihilism has no purpose.

may not have a empirical philosophy, but it believes in art that is productive, not destructive.2.All potential artists must submit a written proposal with a statement of intention of why and how they intend to use the space. Priority will be given to artists who have alarge portfolio of work.3.We will not sell work in the church, no price tags allowed.4.We cannot provide a showcase to artists who wish to physically alter the space other than what we see possible. We are going produce innovative Curation but we wont beswinging from the bell tower for the sake of one idea, unless it’s a very good idearespectively.5.Any decisions have to be passed by organisers of
