| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
Flat Time House (FTHo)’s programme of public exhibitions and events, devised in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance, was brought online where appropriate in response to covid. When regulations allowed, the institution was open to researchers working on exhibitions at other public institutions in the UK and abroad, and to students working towards degree and post-graduate qualifications, and a permanent display was also open to the public by appointment. Due to covid, staff hours were reduced, and in-person programming was postponed according to government restrictions. Funds were raised from Arts Council England and the Paul Mellon Centre to support FTHo to adapt during this period. A significant amount of research and development was undertaken during this period to support the ongoing objectives of the charity and long-term projects were continued. FTHo undertook a significant amount of work improving access to our collections, with a focus on those of most interest to the general public. The photographic parts of the John Latham archive were catalogued, digitised and re-housed with funds from Art360 foundation. Cataloguing, condition checking and re-housing was also begun to the John Latham collection of artworks housed at Flat Time House with funds from the John Latham Foundation. FTHo’s collections provide the backbone of all our activities, providing a starting point for exhibitions and events, supporting educational activities and acting as a fertile resource for commissioned artists – digitising these materials allowed these activities to be supported remotely during covid. A research and development project to develop a sustainable proposal for an artist’s garden at FTHo was begun by artists Will Evans and Julia Crabtree and writer Alice Hattrick with the aim of creating an ambitious new commission that was also an accessible community resource. This was supported with funds from Arts Council England. |

Projects on delta included The Diagram during the year Research Group (DRG), a collaboration between artists David Burrows, John Cussans, Dean Kenning and Mary Yacoob who presented 4 events on delta between 16 October–12 November, and presentations by international artists Madyha Leghari (18 December 2020–14 January 2021) and Padraig Robinson (13 November–17 December 2020). John Latham at 100: African Incidentalism was hosted online in collaboration with Wayi Wayi galley and studios Livingstone, Zambia and attracted a worldwide audience. An exhibition drawing from new work cataloguing FTHo’s collections, ‘And What Can We Say To Be Going On Now…?’ ran from 1 October until the government mandated closing of galleries on 5 November 2020. EDUCATION A continuing partnership with UP Projects is Constellations, a yearly research and development programme, derived from an open-call, for artists who are working with socio-political issues, community-oriented practice and/or public contexts was brought entirely online as a result of covid, also allowing a wider geographical of applicants. Through a continuing partnership with Chelsea College of Art MA Collections and Curating, students received teaching by FTHo staff resulting in an online public exhibition hosted by Chelsea Space. London College of Communication BA Design for Art Direction students held an online public even hosted by FTHo. RESIDENCIES The _/origin\forward/slash_ group of artists and philosophers led by Hester Reeve (Reader in Fine Art, Sheffield Hallam University) in association with The Centre for Philosophy and Visual Arts (Kings College London) transferred their activities to a remote placement due to covid, resulting in a website and live online event. Three remote research placements resulted in three new online commissions (outlined in the exhibitions and events section) by international artists. PARTNERSHIPS FTHo partnered with The Sir Denis Mahon Foundation to present the exhibition Time and Eternal Life (10 October–22 November 2022) at Cromwell Place, London produced in collaboration with Bowman Sculpture, Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini, Collezione Burri, Lisson Gallery, Robilant + Voena and Royal Museums Turin.
