CHISENHALE GALLERY TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021‐22
INTRODUCTION
Chisenhale Gallery was founded by artists. The same experimental vision and spirit of possibility that changed an empty veneer factory and brewery warehouse into an art gallery guides our work today. Our mission is to commission new works of art through supporting artists at every stage of project development, from concept to completion. As a non-profit organisation, Chisenhale Gallery champions the ambitious, the challenging and the innovative from living artists and collaborates locally, nationally and internationally. We are committed to connecting our audiences to the energy and ideas of an ever-expanding creative community. Building on this rich and varied history, we continue to place artists at the centre of everything we do.
Located in a dynamic and creative residential neighbourhood in the heart of London’s East End, where many cultures converge, Chisenhale Gallery is an evolving space for experimentation, transformed by each artist’s commission. This building is home to a creative community spanning Chisenhale Gallery, Chisenhale Dance Space and Chisenhale Studios.
Chisenhale Gallery is known for being one of London’s most innovative art spaces. With a reputation for identifying new artistic talent, we believe in the cultural impact that results from collaborating with and learning from artists working in all media.
Artist commissions initiated by Chisenhale Gallery have garnered international recognition including multiple Turner Prize nominations and wins, as well as visibility in major exhibitions and presence in museum collections across the UK and worldwide.
Chisenhale Gallery is a registered charity, part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio. We fundraise for 100% of the artistic programme through trusts, foundations and individuals. All of our exhibitions are free.
MISSION, VISION, VALUES
Mission
To commission new works of art through supporting artists at every stage of project development, from concept to completion. As a non-profit organisation, Chisenhale Gallery champions the ambitious, the challenging and the innovative from living artists and collaborates locally, nationally and internationally to bring this work to wide audiences.

STRATEGIC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The following seven Strategic Objectives underpin all of Chisenhale Gallery’s activities and inform the set of activities and priorities outlined in the Gallery’s Business Plan for 2022-23. Collectively they contribute to the goals of Chisenhale Gallery’s core funder, Arts Council England, as set out in its strategy for 2020-30, ‘Let’s Create’.
-
To provide opportunities for artists to develop and produce new inspiring work, often giving them their first public platform within an institution in London.
-
To create varied opportunities for audiences to connect with artists through the Gallery’s programmes, addressing key questions raised by artists’ works and welcoming participants to express their own creativity.
-
To provide employment and professional development for artists and arts workers, enabling them to develop their practises.
-
To be a platform for artists from varied cultural and social backgrounds to produce new work and reach audiences from across the UK and abroad.
-
To inspire and reach audiences locally, nationally and internationally across a range of platforms, including providing relevant artist-led, community-focused programmes.
-
To show principled leadership, ensuring the Gallery has a highly skilled and supported staff and board that is fully representative of an inclusive society.
-
To sustain a resilient, ethical and environmentally responsible business model for Chisenhale Gallery to ensure resources match ambitions, and enable the Gallery to secure its accommodation for the long-term.
COMMISSIONS PROGRAMME 2021‐22
Chisenhale Gallery’s Commissions Programme for 2021/22 comprised three new exhibitions by artists Yu Ji, Abbas Akhavan and Rindon Johnson. Honouring our commitment to artists, Yu Ji’s and Akhavan’s commissions, originally scheduled for 2020, were realised in 2021. The 2021/22 programme culminated with Johnson’s major new commission.
Working within and beyond the walls of the gallery, the artists in the 2021/22 programme used video, sculpture, painting and installation to individually address urgent issues related to our natural and built environments. As part of the commissioning process, a series of talks and events were programmed in collaboration with commissioned artists and ran throughout the duration of each exhibition.
In Spring 2021, Chisenhale Gallery presented Wasted Mud , the first solo exhibition in a UK institution by Shanghai-based artist Yu Ji. Comprising sculpture, video, print and performance, Yu
2
Ji’s work responds to specific contexts and locations to examine the human body’s interaction with spaces such as the Thames at low tide or Deptford Market.
Taking London’s canals and rivers as a starting point, Yu Ji’s new commission acted as a ‘living sculpture’, where the body, liquid and concrete became sites in transformation. Through the use of water and vegetable matter, the gallery was transformed into a construction site, where weeds were boiled and building detritus swayed in a hammock. What might otherwise be considered wreckage took on the potential for newly discovered vitality.
Abbas Akhavan was the Summer 2021 commission. A new commission by Montreal-based artist Abbas developed his ongoing work with dirt ramming and green-screen techniques to examine themes of absence, destruction and reproduction. By recreating sections of the Palmyra Arch, a 2,000-year-old Syrian landmark believed to have been destroyed by ISIS in 2015, Akhavan’s sitespecific installation addressed issues of cultural ownership and power embedded in the act of producing a facsimile of an ancient monument. This installation was complemented by a rooftop painting of the words ‘CAT’S PAW’, visible only from an aerial vantage point and made possible by support from Concrete Projects.
Autumn/Winter 2021 marked Rindon Johnson’s first solo exhibition in a UK institution. Deftly combining CGI and sculpture, Johnson created multifaceted conceptions of identity and belonging. Central to the commission was a live rendering of ocean weather data collected by Johnson throughout 2020. The moving images anthologise a yearlong portrait of the North Atlantic “cold blob.” This section ocean-surface is located at the approximate geographical midpoint between Chisenhale Gallery and co-commissioners SculptureCenter, New York, where the work was also be presented in February 2021. A companion to the project was a publication co-published with SculptureCenter by InPatient Press.
LOCAL PROGRAMME
Encompassing our work with Schools, Young People and Families, the Local Programme renewed focus on the immediate community within walking distance of the gallery by developing a new strategy of outreach and participation. Chisenhale Gallery’s Local Programme aims to inspire public imagination through interaction with the artists we commission and the artwork we help bring into being. We aim to attract people who have not yet set foot in the gallery and to develop meaningful, long-term relationships with those who do. We decided to extend the recognition enjoyed by our Exhibitions Programme to include public perceptions of our participatory work.
Three ideas govern everything we do, resonating with the gallery’s vision, mission, and values. Firstly, we have tried to make the gallery practically useful for our artist audiences. Framing our Commissions Programme as a resource for artists of all ages and stages of development; we design our public events with the same ambition in mind. We have also attempted to better embed Chisenhale, a gallery with an international reputation but low local footfall, in its neighbourhood.
This has involved collaborating with communities and organisations on our doorstep to develop lively and relevant programming that appeals to people nearby. Finally, as we emerge from the pandemic, there has been a renewed focus on the intersection of art, mental health, and young people. We have been working intensively on a significant research-based pilot programme with major support from the Greater London Authority (GLA). The scale and ambition of our work locally sets a new benchmark for what small galleries can achieve. We are presenting an innovative model for how arts institutions can work with artists and young people who experience serious mental health issues.
Chisenhale Gallery were the successful recipients of funding from the London Mayor’s Culture Unit to pilot an ambitious project focused on youth mental health and visual arts access in the capital.

What resulted is now our flagship, award-nominated* endeavour 2.8 Million Minds , named for the number of young people resident in our city.
Our work in 2021-22 has seen significant growth in the proportion of visitors from our local area (including London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Newham).
- 2.8 Million Minds has been shortlisted for the "Collective Power" Award at the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance's annual awards, which will take place on 25 November 2022.
CURATORIAL FELLOWSHIPS
In 2021-22 Chisenhale Gallery secured major funding to continue its ambitious curatorial fellowship opportunities. Designed to create pathways into employment and sustain professional development, these unique training opportunities address stark racial disparities within the sector.
Frieze x Deutsche Bank Curatorial Fellowship
Chisenhale Gallery initiated the support of Frieze and Deutsche Bank, as the inaugural recipient of their now UK-wide Emerging Curators Fellowship Programme. As our fellow concludes her training, she develops her own original research project.
During the course of the 18-month placement, the Curatorial Fellow has assisted with the planning and delivery of three major solo commissions, as well as having delivered talks, tours and new writing.
Asymmetry Curatorial Writing Fellowship
Also in 2021, Chisenhale Gallery extended its partnership with Asymmetry Art Foundation, to deliver the second six-month curatorial residency at Chisenhale Gallery, focused on writing as a practice. These opportunities are targeted to mid-career curators of Chinese heritage. Yu’an Huang completed her tenure as our second fellow.
Kingston School of Art x Chisenhale Gallery Collaborative Doctoral Award
During 2021-22 the Gallery continued its partnership with Kingston School of Art on an AHRCfunded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership studentship: Making, Unmaking and Remaking History: Exhibition Programming at Chisenhale Gallery in the late 1980s. This opportunity is centred on research into Chisenhale Gallery’s archive and offered under the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership Scheme. Artist Edwin Mingard -- jointly supervised by Dan Kidner, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Kingston University and Chisenhale Gallery Director, Zoé Whitley -- successfully passed his MPhil.
PARTNERSHIPS, AUDIENCES & PARTICIPANTS
Audience figures for Chisenhale Gallery commissions are collected from national and international presentations of the works at other venues, footfall at the gallery while the works are shown there, as well as audiences that engage with online works on digital platforms, and participants in the Gallery’s events and community activities. Total audience figures during 2021-22 (1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022) across all these platforms were: 182,500 .

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
In 2021-22, Chisenhale Gallery made significant progress in a number of areas in fulfilment of the actions it pledged to undertake. Crucially, it has diversified its staff significantly since 2020. Its board is complete.
2021‐22 FINANCAL REVIEW
Chisenhale Gallery is a registered charity and one of Arts Council England (ACE)’s National Portfolio Organisations. Resource sharing is central to all activities and Chisenhale Gallery collaborates with other organisations to co-produce the majority of projects, enabling the production of ambitious commissions. Over the past decade, Chisenhale Gallery has steadily decreased its dependence on funding from Arts Council England and very significantly grown the income generated from individuals and earned income streams.
Chisenhale Gallery was in a strong position in March 2021, having secured funding for the majority of the planned programme for the forthcoming year. Previous fundraising success had also enabled the Gallery to ringfence unrestricted funds for a potential rise in rent.
In October 2020, Chisenhale Gallery was successful in securing a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund through ACE, which stabilised the organisation’s finances in 2020-21, with an additional donation in 2021-22 for £10,000. In 2021-22 total support from ACE accounted for 21% of overall income, compared with 42% in 2020-21.
Overall income from donations, grants and charitable activities increased significantly after the pandemic years. Donations from individuals continued to be a vital source of funding in 2021-22. Chisenhale Gallery’s Friends and Patrons’ Programme raised unrestricted income of £125,250.
The Gallery also continued to raise funds from individuals via the Commissions Fund – a major donor initiative that engages donors for at least a two-year commitment with a donation of £10,000 per year. Funds received via the Commissions Fund are carried forward to support the Commissions and associated Curatorial staff costs in the following financial year. This strategic initiative allows Chisenhale Gallery to raise funds a year in advance and to allocate income across the forthcoming year’s commissions where it is needed most, allowing ambitious and ‘hard to fund’ projects to take place. In 2021-21 £80,000 was raised through the Commissions Fund.
Despite the challenging fundraising landscape, in 2021-22 Chisenhale Gallery also successfully secured major donation from Bloomberg, which enabled Chisenhale Gallery to start to redevelopment of the website and start research into integrating a new Customer Relationship Management system, with the possibility of securing future funding in 2022-23.
Chisenhale Gallery continues to operate with a team of two dedicated fundraising staff, a Development Manager and Development Coordinator, and all other senior staff including the Director are closely engaged in fundraising activities.
RESERVES POLICY
At 31 March 2022 the gallery had unrestricted funds of £436,901. The purpose of these funds is to provide a safety net from which unexpected costs may be met as well as facilitating the continuation or orderly winding down of the organisation in the event of a shortfall in funding.
6
From these funds, the Trustees have agreed to hold a designated ‘Reserve Fund’ equivalent to three months of basic operating costs. Currently £109,700 is designated for this purpose.
From the remaining funds, £8,000 is designated for the repayment of rent which was deferred during the pandemic. Reserves are also held to give support for the potential future capital expenditure.
RISK
The Covid-19 crisis presented the biggest risk to Chisenhale Gallery in a decade. While the Gallery entered the pandemic in a position of relative strength and stability following an extraordinary period of growth in the ambition of the programme, staff numbers and fundraising, the impact of the pandemic on fundraising was felt sharply, particularly in the first two quarters of the year.
ACE funding as a National Portfolio Organisation was unaffected, however this grant represents only 20% of overall income, covering just under half of core costs. 100% of programme costs must be raised each year on top of ACE’s support.
A detailed Risk Register, as well as a Sensitivity Analysis of the organisation’s financial projections, is included in the 2022-23 Business Plan. Key risks identified include:
-
Lease arrangements: Chisenhale Art Place Trust (CAPT) holds the lease on the building known as Chisenhale Works owned by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, until 2031. Chisenhale Gallery currently occupies its space under a formal sub-lease, last renewed in March 2018 for a term of 5 years, ending in March 2023. Under that lease the Gallery has a 12-month notice period. This situation is reviewed at each board meeting and Chisenhale Gallery’s board has been strengthened in recent years by the appointment of Trustees with particular skills in this area. Renewed collaborative relationships across the building with Chisenhale Studios and Chisenhale Dance Space, as well as participation in a consultancy project funded by the Greater London Authority (GLA) also serve to mitigate this risk.
-
Fundraising: less than half of core costs are covered by the Gallery’s regular funding from Arts Council England, and the remaining 50%+ of core costs, as well as all project funding must be raised from other sources. Chisenhale Gallery, however, has a strong track record and generates income from a broad range of sources, including through a successful major donor initiative, the Commissions Fund, and the establishment of a new Resilience Fund designed to generate unrestricted fund to support the organisation over the next two to three years in the post-pandemic recovery period. An appropriate level of reserves also serves to cushion this risk.
-
Reputational risks: particularly in relation to donations from individuals, companies, trusts and foundations, the Gallery acknowledges the potential reputational damage associated with accepting funds, where the money may have been generated – or be perceived by audiences, artists and other funders, to have been generated – through unethical practices. In 2018 the Gallery devised and implemented a comprehensive Ethics Policy which was further updated in 2020, including a specific donations policy which outlines and makes public the Gallery’s procedures for conducting due diligence on donations. The Ethics Policy is reviewed regularly by the Board of Trustees and discussion of organisational ethics is an active and ongoing process.
The organisation undertakes periodic reviews for all areas of risk including insurance cover, workplace policies including Health and Safety, financial affairs, personnel practices, and IT. These policies and procedures were last reviewed and updated in April 2021 and will be updated in November 2022.

Chisenhale Gallery Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Chisenhale Gallery meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure.
Costs are allocated to a category either because such costs are directly incurred in relation to such category, or because they are support costs in respect of which an apportionment has been made between the categories.
Support costs consist of infrastructure costs for salaries, premises, office administration. Such costs are apportioned on a reasonable and consistent basis to the various categories with a view !o determining, as accurately as possible, the total resources expended for each category. The basis of apportionment used is either a function of staff time applied to a given activity, or an estimate of the proportion of costs associated with the same, or a combination of both.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Tangible fixed assets
