Tudor Grove
Posted by: David Keech on 29th Sep 2008 in Creative Report
I recently attended an open day at Tudor Grove Studios (at 21 Tudor Grove, Hackney), along with fellow Olympian Arts directors Robert Connolly and Michael Day.
Tudor Grove is artists' studios and non-commercial exhibition space operated as a not-for-profit collective under the umbrella of the Olympian Arts Trust. It is home to some of the UK's most exciting contemporary artists.
Those of you familiar with this blog will know about Olympian Arts from previous posts; I have also added some information at the end of this one.
We spent the afternoon viewing work in progress and were lucky enough to be able spend time with the artists taking about working methods, exhibitions past and present and their current commercial activity.
The artists are Fiona Banner, Kevin Francis Gray, Simon English, Margarita Gluzberg, Bridget Smith and Anne Hardy.

Trustees: Matthew Andrews MA (RCA), David Keech MA (RCA), Fr Michael Day
Secretary: Robert Connolly MA (RCA)
Honorary Solicitor: Mark Stephens
As an arts charity with a remit to use spaces of interest in themselves to champion work that stretches classification, and artists who straddle categories, Olympian's projects have included:
Best View in Town (Observer Review)
Conceived during the property boom of the early nineties, to take art out of the gallery and into the city, Olympian's first show used the penthouse floors of Centre Point to make a private view public and show work by the well-known and the unknown.
Not the White Cubed...
Mating multimedia art with electronic multimedia in the former Saatchi HQ in MM2
Heavy Rock Tour...
Showing modern monolithic landscape sculpture from Scandinavia and Ireland across Sweden and at the Tower Bridge Millennium Site as Standing Stones
All the world's a Mall/Museum...
Putting together functional art with conceptual design as part of the British Council season in Stockholm and touring Britain with Free Radicals
Rates of Exchange...
Bringing Scandinavian performance and live art to Britain and Ireland at the ICA, the CCA, HTBA, the Dublin Fringe and the Liverpool Biennial, and taking British live art to Scandinavia
Model Development...
Currently operating not-for-profit studio space for artists at Tudor Grove in Hackney.
Ned&Shiva productions...
Part of the Art at the Arts programme. Ned&Shiva are a partnership of two US artists based in NY, Miami, and London working in video and still image projection. One of their specialities has been "drive-by projection", which combines the Banksyesque immediacy and shock tactics of social comment through graffiti and street art with the narrative values and cinematic associations of video art.
