The Projection Gallery – collective artist's film group

The Projection Gallery is a showing collective for the exhibition and publicity of the best in artist's film.

Based in East London, UK, we were established in 2004 and hold a database and collection of over 170 artist's films,
and exhibit them in contemporary art spaces.

Our exhibitions showcase films and art of the highest quality, bringing new works of international standing to the art viewing audience in the UK and abroad. Our programmes typically feature first screenings of short films, animations, and documentaries, alongside dance, experimental broadcasts, anti-adverts and beyond.

But we are more than a cinema collective. It is an ongoing project about viewing and experimenting with film and other projections, mixing film, video and light with other arts, and about exchanging ideas.

We aim to provide an arena for showing and performing works, and for workshops that experiment with projections.

The Projection Gallery – workshops and shows

Our workshops use combinations of video, performance, dance, storytelling, sculpture, internet and wireless technology,
interactive triggers, music, illustration, and puppetry, amongst others.

We focus on production, and playback and display of multi-media, moving and still image works.
Some activities centre on themes to help establish interactive dialogue between diverse media,
whereas others are more free and chaotic, establishing patterns and rhythms through dialogue.

The Projection Gallery – melting pot of ideas

The Projection Gallery is a notional space which tours art locations in the UK and overseas, in which remote participants collaborate.
At present, the Projection Gallery Project is being hosted by V22 Gallery in London, a contemporary gallery group of outstanding reputation. Submissions are constantly open, and have been received from around the world.

The Projection Gallery - A lasting legacy

The Projection Gallery will once again provide a DVD round-up of time-based and static works shown in Winter 2006-Spring 2007, alongside documentation, vox pop, film extracts, mix-cd samples, audio, applications, and interactive works. This will also contain a copy of the website. This will be distributed to the contributing artists and arts archives, whilst a retail version with full copyright permissions will be available by pre-order and through the websites of The Projection Gallery. Distribution of the proceeds will be between artists, and selected charities.The new webspace is nearing completion, and the project forum is soon to launch on the website as a repository of ideas.
