What is Gasworks?
Gasworks is a contemporary arts organisation in South London housing 12 artists’ studios and presenting a programme of exhibitions, residencies, international fellowships and educational projects. Nine studios are rented to London based artists and three are reserved for an International Residency Programme for non-UK based artists. Gasworks residencies encourage exchange of ideas between practitioners, instigating experimentation with new concepts and new materials. Visiting artists are asked to contribute to an education and outreach programme through talks and seminars with students, arts professionals and the local public. The non-prescriptive and process-based nature of the residencies allows visiting artists to develop projects in response to their new context, or to conduct research benefiting from London’s resources. Since 1994 Gasworks Residency Programme has worked with over 150 artists from over 60 countries worldwide.
