CHISENHALE GALLERY CHAMPIONS THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS
As a non-profit organisation, we produce and share new works of art, working closely with artists who develop their ideas over a period of up to two years.
We are inspired by the exciting and thought-provoking ways that artists reinterpret the world.

reinventing the gallery with every distinctive commission, we bring new

MISSION, VISION, VALUES
As a non-profit organisation, we produce and share new works of art.
We are inspired by the exciting and thought-provoking ways that artists reinterpret the world. We strive to be a centre of excellence in contemporary visual art.
We believe that excellent artists are everywhere and so provide platforms to be seen and heard; not only in the gallery or art studio, but also in classrooms, in books and throughout our local area.
We amplify artists' voices to possibly connect with the artist within us all.
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.
2
-
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 2022-23
Chisenhale Gallery’s Commissions Programme for 2022 comprised new exhibitions by artists Rachel Jones, Nikita Gale and Ayo Akingbade. We also presented a new event-based commission by young artists from The Coborn Centre for Adolescent Mental Health, Newham, and their staff, with the vacuum cleaner (James Leadbitter) made in collaboration with Caroline Moore. With research and production taking place in Lagos, London and Los Angeles, the artists in the 2022 Commissions Programme worked across painting, performance, sound and film to address themes of home, self-knowledge and collaboration.
Rachel Jones 12 March-11 June, 2022
say cheeeeese by Rachel Jones was the artist’s first solo exhibition in an institution, creating a series of oil pastels on paper and canvas as well as stickers to line the gallery walls and exterior doors. Working with painting, installation and performance, Jones examines ways of expressing that which can be seen and sensed rather than uttered. Jones’ oil pastel works on canvas and paper often repeat symbols, colours and textures, creating associative, even familial, relationships between works varying in scale, from the monumental to the handheld. Her accompanying first book by the same title is shortlisted in the Exhibition Catalogues category at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2023.
Nikita Gale 9 July-16 October, 2022
Artist Nikita Gale sculpts concrete, metal, light, and sound. Composing unforgettable installations through interventions both spatial and sonic alongside moving image works, Gale possesses a unique material sensibility through which abstract connections are forged between image and text, memory and identity, history and now. Chisenhale Gallery presented the artist’s first solo exhibition in a UK institution. Gale’s deeply researched practice orbits themes of invisibility and audibility, interrogating the complicated dynamic between performer and spectator, structure and decay.
Ayo Akingbade
12 November 2022-11 February 2023
Show Me The World Mister is a new film commissioned by artist Ayo Akingbade, now touring nationally. Shot on location in Nigeria, the commission builds on Akingbade’s lucid interrogations of history and place, addressing the interwoven histories of industrialisation, colonisation and family. The film is produced by Chisenhale Gallery and Spike Island, Bristol, and commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery; Spike Island; the Whitworth, The University of Manchester; BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; and John Hansard Gallery, Southampton. Following its Chisenhale premiere, the work will be exhibited at partner venues through 2024. The accompanying publication, the artist’s first, is copublished with Book Works and will be released in Winter 2023.
the vacuum cleaner 21 November 2022 - 4 December 2022
For They Let In The Light was a live performance series by young artists from The Coborn Centre for Adolescent Mental Health, Newham, and their staff, with the vacuum cleaner (James Leadbitter) made in collaboration with Caroline Moore in response to the question, “why are so many young people struggling with mental health?” The results, presented as a
4
series of immersive events at Chisenhale Gallery, challenged how mental health is understood, treated and experienced.
SOCIAL PRACTICE
Chisenhale Gallery prioritises working locally with young people who experience barriers to accessing art and culture in schools, hospitals, Child Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and alternative provision settings.
Chisenhale Gallery's education work borrows from the ethos of its commission programme. We bring together artists, artist-teachers, and students to develop ambitious projects that start with questions and yield unexpected responses in a process that expands the capacities of each. In the context of ever-diminishing support for the arts within the schooling system, we aim to incubate challenging new ideas about the role art can play in the classroom while creating joyful connections between children and young people, artists and artworks. All of our projects culminate in tangible manifestations, striving to meet the gallery’s mission to be a ‘centre of excellence’.
Following two years of work in and around Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Tower Hamlets ( 2.8 Million Minds and For They Let In The Light ), a particular priority of the programme is reaching young people who otherwise have limited access to art and culture. As a tight-knit and nimble organisation, we have developed expertise in navigating these sometimes difficult contexts and feel it is an area in which we can have the greatest impact.
2.8 Million Minds, Chisenhale’s pilot project for the London Mayor’s Culture Unit, was Highly Commended in the "Collective Power" category at the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance's 2022 awards.
CURATORIAL FELLOWSHIPS
In 2022-23 Chisenhale Gallery secured major funding to develop new opportunities for curatorial training and to sustain its commitment to expanding access into the curatorial profession. Designed to create pathways into employment and sustain professional development, these unique training opportunities address stark racial disparities within the sector.
Terra Foundation Curatorial Fellowship
A 12-month fully funded entry-level curatorial position that encompasses full-time working on research, production, exhibition-making and registrarial skills.
Asymmetry Art Foundation Curatorial Fellowship
An 18-month fully-funded curatorial position for an emerging Chinese curator, inclusive of dedicated weekly research time to develop an independent project.
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 2022-23 (1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023) across all these platforms were: 103,036 .

Online Commissions, Talks & Schools’ Programme
The Gallery’s total participation figures are 3171.

Senior staff 2022-23 Director – Zoe Whitley Deputy Director – Emma Starkings Head of Development – Ioanna Nitsou Curator – Olivia Aherne (From May 2022)
NETWORKS
In 2022-23 Chisenhale Gallery continued to be a member of Plus Tate. The network was launched in 2010 with an aim to share collections and expertise and build a network that would use Tate’s resources to strengthen the contemporary visual arts ecology in the UK. Chisenhale Gallery joined in January 2015 when the network expanded adding a further 16 partners to the original cohort of 18.
Chisenhale is also a founding member of Common Practice, London, an advocacy group working for the recognition and fostering of the small-scale contemporary visual arts sector in London. The group aims to promote the value of the sector and its activities, act as a knowledge base and resource
6
for members and affiliated organisations, and develop a dialogue with other visual art organisations on a local, national and international level.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
In 2022-23, Chisenhale Gallery focused on progress related to disability in the workplace. Its 12strong board is reflective of the diversity of London; comprised of 5 women and 7 men; 2 members identify as LBGTQ; 6 trustees are BAME and 2 are Jewish.
2022‐23 FINANCAL REVIEW
Chisenhale Gallery is a registered charity and one of Arts Council England (ACE)’s National Portfolio Organisations.
Chisenhale Gallery continues to operate with dedicated fundraising staff supporting the Director’s fundraising strategy. Over the past decade, Chisenhale Gallery has steadily diversified its fundraising streams and decreased its dependence on funding from the Arts Council England, total support from ACE accounted for 18% of overall income compared with 21% in 2021-22.
Overall income from donations, grants and charitable activities has remained steady from 20212022. Donations from individuals has continued to be a vital source of funding in 2022-23. Chisenhale Gallery’s Friends and Patrons’ Programme raised unrestricted income of £144,425
Despite the challenging fundraising landscape, in 2022-23 Chisenhale Gallery successfully secured large donations to support the gallery’s Social Practise work including projects 2.8 Million Minds and For They Let In The Light
Chisenhale Gallery remains in a strong position financially with ongoing strategy to secure funding for the majority of the planned programme for each forthcoming year in advance.
RESERVES POLICY
On 31 March 2023 the gallery had unrestricted funds of £464,332 of which £147,821 are designated. 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.
From these funds, the Trustees have agreed to hold a designated ‘Reserve Fund’ equivalent to three months of basic operating costs. Currently £110,000 is designated for this purpose.
RISK
The UK’s position post-Brexit has been precarious for the cultural sector and costs for fine art shipping and materials have increased in some cases more than five-fold. Geopolitics inclusive of the war in Ukraine render increasingly uncertain the erstwhile stable cost of energy and has a knock-on effect on utilities.
ACE funding as a National Portfolio Organisation was unaffected, however this grant represents only 18% 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.
7
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, previously renewed in March 2018 for a term of 5 years, ending in March 2023. This was renewed in August 2023. The appointment of Nick Trompeter brings particular expertise in this area. Renewed collaborative relationships across the building with 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 and again in 2022, 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 2023.

Chisenhale Gallery Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2023
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
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are recognised in the accounts in the period they are incurred.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is included in the Statement of Financial Activities, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
