Chisenhale Gallery
This non-profit space was founded in 1986 in the heart of London's East End and is today widely recognised as being one of the most important independent spaces in the country.  

Over the years the Chisenhale has gained a reputation for giving shows both to unknowns as well the newly-famous, all of whom have had to face the daunting task of filling its cavernous interior. Exhibitions have varied from British artists to international artists as well as group shows. The Chisenhale also has a yearly series of shows devoted to new work by unknown artists every summer. Via a lottery funded education programme they have brought art into the local community and surrounding schools in a bid to take the elitism out of art and to involve those who would normally shun away from it. In addition to their 2500 square foot space the Chisenhale has recently moved into virtual space with their internet space 'ch2'. It's first show by Tomoko Takahashi of a dysfunctional word processor helped land that artist her Turner nomination in 2000.
