Invisible

Invisible

about: 

Through its partnership with The People’s Kitchen, the System Gallery will hand-out disposable cameras to people living in Newcastle without homes. Throughout 2017, the participants of the project are encouraged to use the cameras to document their lives and capture everyday moments. A selection of these photographs will then be developed, printed and framed to form an exhibition to be held at the System Gallery in late 2017, this exhibition will then travel throughout several venues in Newcastle.

The aim of INVISIBLE is to help people affected by homelessness to reconnect with the wider society through photography. INVISIBLE seeks to make their lives visible, only shown from their own point of view.

SCHNEEEULE

schneeeule silke nowak

about: 

Schneeeule is a project space based in Berlin and run by Matti Bergmann and Silke Nowak. Founded in 2012, Schneeeule is a space for exhibitions, screenings and lectures with varying locations.

The venue for the first couple events was a salesroom in the Berlin Carré, located at Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte. Ever since various venues were used for the following events – such as a garden, a bar or a cultural center.

In order to meet a large scope of different approaches towards exhibition making, Schneeeule is dedicated to collaboration, and thus invites different artists as well as curators.

Another objective of Schneeeule is to present concealed positions, especially female artists, by making them visible and give them space for a public debate. Showing Verena Pfisterer’s work for instance, led to an increased attention of her artistic position within the contemporary art context. Further exhibitions and screenings featured paintings, drawings and films by Verena Schirz-Jahn, Coleen Fitzgibbon and Annabel Nicolson.

The Russian Club Gallery

The Russian Club Gallery

about: 

The Russian Club (named after the site's previous incarnation as a Russian pool room and bar) was set-up as an art gallery and commercial fashion photography studios in 2008. The gallery was programmed by artist Matt Golden and focussed on pairing artists for exhibitions, as well as a small number of group shows with invited curators. The gallery was funded by the commercial photographic studios and the kind and generous effort of each of the exhibiting artists.

Golden ended the gallery programme in 2012 but has since curated Russian Club exhibitions at Annely Juda Fine Art and artists commissions in Rollacoaster Magazine.

The Russian Club continues to run as commercial photography studios as well as being the artistic base for Matt and Natsue Golden.

The Penthouse

about: 

An independent not for profit artist led work and project space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. A place for making, doing and sharing by artists Rosanne Robertson and Debbie Sharp.

The Penthouse is the place to get your heads and hands dirty with ideas and new beginnings which fly from our rooftops directly into the city around us and beyond.

The Penthouse is the permanent studio base of Rosanne Robertson and Debbie Sharp.

Noise Above Noise was borne of The Penthouse- described as

“Performance series Noise Above Noise elevates Manchester’s underground scene to the fifth floor of a tower block”. Frances Morgan- The Wire.

“The Penthouse, found on the top floor of a 1960s office block at the less-saturated edge of the Northern Quarter, is not your average exhibition space. Formed by Rosanne Robertson and Debbie Sharp in late 2012, the studio offers access to the duo’s workspace, used by a variety of creatives to generate multi-sensory experiences, with an emphasis on the divergent and unique…The hands on environment is unlike any other in the city, and encourges experimentation like nowhere else”. Charlotte Davies- The Skinny.

Our main project of 2016 focuses on the effect of space and place on artistic production with dedicated artist residencies at The Penthouse and a public seminar on the subject Sept 2016. Email or tweet us for appointment- we aren’t usually open outside of public events which are advertised via website.

We are continuing to use our three-floor 19th century building in central Leeds to develop projects and events that bring contemporary artists and others to work alongside some of the city’s emerging practitioners. Occasional artist residencies complement our exhibition programme. Use of the building is enabled by the Leeds charity RTTA (Regeneration Through The Arts). All our projects, so far involving well over 200 artists are documented in the archive section of our website - http://www.andmodel.com/archive.htm
