i-cabin
In September 2008 i-cabin became the owner of a quarter acre of land in Worcestershire. It's programme of collaborations and residencies is now based there and begins in 2009. The London space continues to function as a studio, publishing office & research space.

Between 2005 & 2008 i-cabin operated 4 programming strands concurrently in it's London space. These are listed below.
Year1 is concerned with exhibiting emerging international artists who have not had solo shows in London before. The artists take part in a residency at i-cabin resulting in entirely new and site-specific works generated through a dialogue with i-cabin and the i-cabin space.
Year2 works with more established international artists (who may or may not be represented by other galleries) and asks them to operate outside of their normal practice. Year2 hopes to result in entirely unique works which would not have been generated elsewhere and are a result of a specific exchange.
Year3 is i-cabin's offsite collaborative practice. Since our nomination for Beck's Futures in 2005 i-cabin has operated as an 'Art production Hub' authoring original artworks for international exhibitions. These works are specific projects produced in collaboration with groups of artisits and initiated through a dialogue with i-cabin as a curatorial entitiy.
Year4 is an unrestricted number of one week long shows by artists with disjointed and problematic practices. The programme will culminate in a public archive which will act as a reference document of contemporary practices which allow the loose ends to hang out.
