No.w.here Studio’s is a film lab and ex-hibition/event space in Bethnal Green that has been going since 2004. Run by Artists and Filmakers, Karen Mirza and Brad Butler. They deal in older for-mats of film such as Super 8 and do all their developing and processing on site.

Mission Statement

“No.w.here opens a space where the place of the moving image within contemporary art can be explored and expanded. Whether support-ing artists and the development of their work, or critically engaging audiences, artistic practice lies at no.w.here’s core, and is fed by innovative projects, events, facilities, workshops and edu-cation programmes”

Workshops and talks are held on a weekly basis, during my time I sat in on the ‘Cin-ematic Body’ series and helped out during the Super 8 workshops. No.w.here’s film facilities are not available (outside of com-mercial labs) anywhere else in the UK. This, in itself, creates innovation as illustrated by the long history of artists films made dur-ing the film co-op years of the late 60’s and

70’s. no.w.here also allows artists and film-makers to experiment with production and chemical processes (not allowed in the commercial labs). They have a new broad-cast quality telecine for artists who wish to shoot on film and then edit digitally. In-novation in our existing equipment (opti-cal printer) also enables artists to perform functions beyond the facilities original use.

Studio Renovation Project

In the next building there had been a derilict house that once was a clothes

factory and, more recently, a brothel. They had acquired this space and were in the process of renovating it and renting it as

three studio spaces, kitchen and bathroomincluded. We came up with the idea of

having two of them on the online advertand changing them each week to show the progression. I also put together a PDF that

included a montage of these images to send out too.

Art Angel Project

During my last week, Karen and Brad had been talking about starting up a community art project that would take place in June. While they didn’t have a set plan to what

form that would take, they wanted to build up a map of local busi-nesses in the area. Myself and the other

work experience intern took a walk up and down Bethnal Green Road and stopped at every door to see of they’d like to tell us a bit about shops in the area, if and how that had changed, if they’d like to be a part of

the project and if we could get some photo-graphs. Fortunaltey most were only to hap-py to talk to us and let us explore the build-

ings.

The following is the best of the set of images i got that day..........

Context is half the work

APG founded in 1966, it was an artist-run organisation started by Barbara Steveni and

John Latham. Their mission was “Reposi-tioning Art in the Decision-Making Process-es of Society” (in government, commerce the disciplines and professions). They did

not intent for the artist to have a tradition-al relationship of patronage, but to involve themselves in the day to day work of the

organisation at all levels including decision-making.

The context of the studio renovation at that time was the main project during my time there. I did get involved in desicion making of which of my two favourite images made it onto the webiste and also was in charge of

the image content and design of the advertisement PDF.
